Full Description

Scope

This amendment specifies protocols, procedures, and managed objects for hot standby without use of the Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA), for time-aware systems, including: - A function that transforms the synchronized times of two generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) domains into one synchronized time for use by applications; - A function that directs the synchronized time of one gPTP domain into a different gPTP domain; and - Mechanisms that determine whether a gPTP domain has sufficient quality to be used for hot standby. This amendment specifies a Type-Length-Value (TLV) to enable 1μs time synchronization accuracy over 100 network hops. This amendment also addresses errors and omissions in the description of existing functionality.

Purpose

This standard enables systems to meet the respective jitter, wander, and time-synchronization requirements for time-sensitive applications, including those that involve multiple streams delivered to multiple end stations. To facilitate the widespread use of packet networks for these applications, synchronization information is one of the components needed at each network element where time-sensitive application data are mapped or demapped or a time-sensitive function is performed. This standard leverages the work of the IEEE 1588 Working Group by developing the additional specifications needed to address these requirements.

Abstract

Amendment Standard - Active.This amendment to IEEE Std 802.1AS™-2020 specifies hot standby and addresses errors and omissions in the description of existing functionality.
