INTELLIGENT SUPERVISION FOR CONFIGURATION OF PRECISION TIME PROTOCOL (PTP) ENTITIES

摘要

An intelligent supervisor located at a management node in the PTP network determines the PTP roles and configuration of the client nodes. The intelligent supervisor communicates with intelligent supervisor agents located at client nodes in the PTP network. The intelligent supervisor agents at the client nodes feed back information, such as the PTP properties of the client nodes, to the intelligent supervisor. The intelligent supervisor analyzes the data to determine the roles and appropriate configuration for the client nodes.
