A Brief Analysis of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Synchronization Protocol

Noel Ng Pang Wang

Abstract

The principles,core algorithms and technical features of IEEE 1588 protocol(Precision Time Synchronization Protocol) are introduced.The IEEE 1588 protocol can solve?the problem of low time?synchronization?accuracy of networks and?poor?security performance. Compared to the two existing?network time synchronization technologies,?NTP based and GPS?based technologies,IEEE 1588 based time synchronization technology can provide higher?accuracy,security and controllability,and meet the time synchronization requirement of communication network,power systems,?industrial control and high precision measurement?applications.
