1.2. Objective
These tests validate the use of Intel® FPGA PAC N3000 as the IEEE1588v2 slave in Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN). This document describes:
- Test setup
- Verification process
- Performance evaluation of transparent clock mechanism in the FPGA path of Intel® FPGA PAC N3000
- PTP performance of the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000
The performance of the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000 supporting the transparent clock is compared with the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000 without transparent clock as well as with another Ethernet card XXV710 under various traffic conditions and PTP configurations.
