“…In order to improve accuracy further, especially in high-end industrial and scientific applications, PTP performances have been enhanced by means of various additional features. These include clock state estimators [11], [12], optimal servo-clocks [13], coordination algorithms at the protocol level [14], techniques to estimate and to compensate for the effect of frequency offsets and drifts in multi-hop networks [15], [16], and frequency transfer and control strategies in order to achieve both clock synchronization and syntonization [17]. Two clocks are said to be syntonized if the duration of the second is the same on both, which means that the time, as measured by each, advances at the same rate.…”
