Is that really useful though? As soon as you need to synchronize your dataset beyond the local PTP network NTP-based timestamping becomes useless. You need a local GPS-based time reference backing PTP.
- bradknowles 4y agoMost clients won't speak PTP or know how to deal with it. But NTP is something that many can deal with. So, use PTP as a refclock for your NTP service, and then let the clients deal with an interface they already know and understand. Those clients that really care can deal with the additional complexities of PTP, if you want to let them.
- zie 4y agoIt totally depends on your use case, and what you actually need in reality. In general, once you need/want anything past what NTP can deliver for you, you really, really need to understand your use case and then design your time services to meet your specific needs.
