Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a critical part of keeping synchronization of IP media devices across a network. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of system configurations and an understanding of the processes involved in PTP. In this presentation, we will look at some of the basics of PTP, the potential pitfalls that can happen within the network system that cause issues in the reliability of the system, and the steps that can be taken to ensure a redundant PTP system within various network configurations.
