Profile Identification

profileName:Recommendation for implementations in unicast networks or networks with
non-PTP bridges and routers.
This is an informal but often implemented profile, based on the "default" profile in Annex J.3.



Annex A.9
profileVersion:1.0


Annex J.3.1
profileIdentifier:  00-1B-19-00-01-00


Annex J.3.1
Specified by:Precise Networked Clock Synchronization Working Group of the IM/ST Committee of the IEEE


Annex J.3.1

Annex J.3.1

PTP Options

Permitted NodesOrdinary clocks (i.e. Grandmasters, slave-only clocks), boundary clocks, transparent clocks


Annex A.9.1
Prohibited NodesNone


Transport MechanismsNot specified. Any valid unicast transport mechanism may be used,
e.g. as specified in Annexes D to I of IEEE1588



Annexes D to I
Multicast or UnicastAll messages are sent in unicast.
Unicast negotiation is used by default, but a management procedure could be used.

BMCADefault BMCA, as specified in clause 9.3.2.


Annex A.9.4.1, J.3.3
Path Delay MeasurementUses delay_request/response mechanism by default.
Peer delay mechanism is optional.



Annex A.9.4.2,
J.3.3
PTP ManagementOptional.

7.5.2.2
Message TypesUsed: Announce, Sync, Follow-up, Delay_Req, Delay_Resp, Signaling
Not used: Pdelay_Req, Pdelay_Resp, Pdelay_Resp_Follow_Up
The use of Management messages is permitted.

Permitted, inactive by default


Annex J.3.3
Unicast discovery
(IEEE1588-2008 clause 17.5)
Used by default.


Annex A.9.4.2
