IEEE 1588 Network Delays
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.
