+PTP configuration
+=================
+
+A.5 PTP Synchronization
+-----------------------
+Precision Time Protocol (PTP) provides an efficient way to synchronize
+time on the network nodes. This protocol uses Master-Slave architecture.
+Grandmaster Clock (Master) is a reference clock for the other nodes,
+which adapt their clocks to the master.
+
+Using Physical Hardware Clock (PHC) from the Grandmaster Clock, NIC port
+precision timestamp packets can be served for other network nodes. Slave
+nodes adjust their PHC to the master following the IEEE 1588
+specification.
+
+There are existing implementations of PTP protocol that are widely used
+in the industry. One of them is PTP for Linux, which is a set of tools
+providing necessary PTP functionality. There is no need to re-implement
+the 1588 protocol because PTP for Linux is precise and efficient enough
+to be used out of the box.
+
+To meet xRAN requirements, two tools from PTP for Linux package are
+required: ptp4l and phc2sys.
+
+PTP for Linux\* Requirements
+----------------------------
+
+PTP for Linux\* introduces some software and hardware requirements. The
+machine on which the tools will be run needs to use at least a 3.10
+Kernel version (built-in PTP support). There are several Kernel options
+that need to be enabled in Kernel configuration:
+
+- CONFIG_PPS
+
+- CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
+
+- PTP_1588_CLOCK
+
+Be sure that the Kernel is compiled with these options.
+
+For the best precision, PTP uses hardware timestamping. NIC has its own
+clock, called Physical Hardware Clock (PHC) to read current time just a
+moment before the packet is sent to minimalize the delays added by the
+Kernel processing the packet. Not every NIC supports that feature. To
+confirm that currently attached NIC support Hardware Timestamps, use
+ethtool with the command:
+
+ethtool -T eth0
+
+where eth0 is the potential PHC port. The output from the command should
+say that there is Hardware Timestamps support.
+
+To set up PTP for Linux*:
+
+1.Download source code::
+
+ git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/linuxptp/code linuxptp
+
+ git checkout v2.0
+
+2.Apply patch (this is required to work around issue with some of the
+GM PTP packet size.)::
+
+ diff --git a/msg.c b/msg.c
+
+ old mode 100644
+
+ new mode 100755
+
+ index d1619d4..40d1538

+
+ptp4l
+----------
+
+This tool handles all PTP traffic on the provided NIC port and updated
+PHC. It also determines the Grandmaster Clock and tracks |br|
+synchronization
+status. This tool can be run as a daemon or as a regular Linux\*
+application. When the synchronization is reached, it gives output on the
+screen for precision tracking. The configuration file of ptp4l contains
+many options that can be set to get the best synchronization precision.
+Although, even with default.cfg the synchronization quality is good.
+
+To start the synchronization process run::
+
+ cd linuxptp
+
+ ./ptp4l -f ./configs/default.cfg -2 -i <if_name> -m
+
+The output below shows what the output on non-master node should look
+like when synchronization is started. This means that PHC on this
+machine is synchronized to the master PHC::

+phc2sys
+-----------
+
+The PHC clock is independent from the system clock. Synchronizing only
+PHC does not make the system clock exactly the same as the master. The
+xRAN library requires use of the system clock to determine a common
+point in time on two |br|
+machines (O-DU and RU) to start transmission at the
+same moment and keep time frames defined by ORAN Fronthaul |br|
+specification.
+
+This application keeps the system clock updated to PHC. It makes it
+possible to use POSIX timers as a time reference in xRAN application.
+
+Run phc2sys with the command::
+
+ cd linuxptp
+
+ ./phc2sys -s enp25s0f0 -w -m -R 8
+
+Command output will look like::

+Configuration C3
+------------------
+
+Configuration C3 27 can be simulated for O-DU using a separate server
+acting as Fronthaul Network and O-RU at the same time. O-RU server can
+be configured to relay PTP and act as PTP master for O-DU. Settings
+below can be used to |br|
+instantiate this scenario. The difference is that
+on the O-DU side, the Fronthaul port can be used as the source of PTP as
+well as for U-plane and C-plane traffic.
+
+1.Follow the steps in Section A.6.1 to install PTP on the O-RU server.
+
+2.Copy configs/default.cfg to configs/default_slave.cfg and modify the
+copied file as below::

+Support in xRAN Library
+----------------------------
+
+The xRAN library provides an API to check whether PTP for Linux is
+running correctly. There is a function called xran_is_synchronized(). It
+checks if ptp4l and phc2sys are running in the system by making PMC tool
+requests for current port state and comparing it with the expected
+value. This verification should be done before initialization.
+
+*notes. “SLAVE” is the only expected value in this release; only a
+non-master scenario is supported currently.*
