Hi Adrian,
as you recently asked how AES67 is going, I'm seeking for a sponsor for
linuxptp which I started to package recently[1]. I saw that you
maintain several multimedia related packages. Do you have a suggestion
for a DD who might be interested in sponsorship for this package? If
not, I'm sorry to bother you with my request.
I CCd the debian-multimedia list on Alioth. However, the archive seems
to contain only autogenerated mails and spam, so I'm not sure if someone
reads this list.
Here is the package description for further details:
Description: Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE1588) implementation for Linux
Linuxptp is an implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
according to IEEE standard 1588 for Linux. Features include:
- support for hardware and software time stamping via the Linux
SO_TIMESTAMPING socket option.
- supports for the Linux PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem by using the
clock_gettime family of calls, including the new clock_adjtimex
system call
- implements Boundary Clock (BC) and Ordinary Clock (OC)
- transport over UDP/IPv4, UDP/IPv6, and raw Ethernet (Layer 2)
- supports IEEE 802.1AS-2011 in the role of end station
PTP provides higher precision and faster synchronization than NTP even
without hardware support. With hardware support, sub-microsecond
accuracy can be expected. Whereas NTP is intended for WAN use, PTP is
designed for LAN environments and makes use of UDP multicast.
A driver support matrix can be found on
<http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/#outline-container-5.3>.
Regards,
Tino
