Designing SMPTE 2059-2 PTP Networks

As the SMPTE ST 2059-2 flavour of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol is being deployed in many of the early adopter projects, constraints have arisen and a number of workarounds have been necessary due to either PTP stack, media node and/or network limitations. This may lead to a biased perspective as to what may actually be accomplished with the protocol. This presentation focuses on the key questions that need to be taken into account whilst designing for PTP.
