Description

Precise network time synchronization can be configured with an IEEE 1588 PTP implementation.

This package is useful for administrators and engineers who need sub-millisecond timing across compatible network hardware. It is time-synchronization infrastructure, not a desktop clock widget.

PTP changes can affect logs, measurements, industrial systems, and distributed workloads. Configure interfaces and clock sources carefully.
