Beginner's Guide to Precision Time Protocol

In today’s world, we are using a large number of connected devices that provide us with a seamless experience in voice calling, data transfer, and many more applications. This creates a critical need for all the devices and the systems handling these applications at the backend stay synchronized with each other. With the demand for higher data rates, the synchronization needs have moved from milli-seconds to nano-seconds range. Time synchronization using PTP over the packet network addresses this in a smart and scalable approach.
