4.3.2. IEEE 1588v2 Features

  • Supports 4 types of PTP clock on the transmit datapath:
    • Master and slave ordinary clock
    • Master and slave boundary clock
    • End-to-end (E2E) transparent clock
    • Peer-to-peer (P2P) transparent clock
  • Supports PTP message types:
    • PTP event messages—Sync, Delay_Req, Pdelay_Req, and Pdelay_Resp.
    • PTP general messages—Follow_Up, Delay_Resp, Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up, Announce, Management, and Signaling.
  • Supports simultaneous 1-step and 2-step clock synchronizations on the transmit datapath.
    • 1-step clock synchronization—The MAC function inserts accurate timestamp in Sync PTP message or updates the correction field with residence time.
    • 2-step clock synchronization—The MAC function provides accurate timestamp and the related fingerprint for all PTP message.
  • Supports the following PHY operating speed accuracy:
    • random error:
      • 10Mbps—NA
      • 100Mbps—timestamp accuracy of ± 5 ns
      • 1000Mbps—timestamp accuracy of ± 2 ns
    • static error—timestamp accuracy of ± 3 ns
  • Supports IEEE 802.3, UDP/IPv4, and UDP/IPv6 transfer protocols for the PTP frames.
  • Supports untagged, VLAN tagged, Stacked VLAN Tagged PTP frames, and any number of MPLS labels.
  • Supports configurable register for timestamp correction on both transmit and receive datapaths.
  • Supports Time-of-Day (ToD) clock that provides a stream of 64-bit and 96-bit timestamps.
