The second of a series of videos from IXXAT about IEEE1588-2008 explaining synchronization problems caused by common network topology devices.

IEEE 1588 calculates the clock offset and the network delay to synchronize a device. Common network devices like hubs, switches, and routers introduce variable delays into the network that make it difficult for 1588 to synchronize the devices into the low nanoseconds. This video explains the delays introduced by these network devices, the typical synchronization degradation that is caused, and introduces some ways to overcome the problem.

This is the first of a series of videos introducing and detailing the IEEE 1588 Timing and Synchronization Protocol.

IEEE 1588 is a network communication protocol that provides devices with the capability to synchronize their clocks over a packet based network.  This video introduces the fundamental concepts of IEEE 1588 including delay calculations, packet time stamping, and typical synchronization results.  Future videos will look deeper into these topics, providing a deeper understanding of IEEE 1588 and insight into implementation methods.

Besides our comprehensive company webpage in German and English language, we created a new internet platform for international customers which was launched in mid-June.

The new, multilingual technology pages provide an overview of the IXXAT product range in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Swedish and Japanese language.

This enables visitors to get a brief description of the desired product in their mother language, with the possibility to switch to a detailed product description in English language.
