Through open source innovation, Red Hat OpenShift has incrementally enabled Precision Time Protocol (PTP) use cases. Initially, an Ordinary Clock (OC) was provided in Red Hat OpenShift 4.7. This supported a single follower clock port which synchronized the system clock to an upstream time leader system. This functionality used the open source driver and hardware provided by Intel for the x710 Fortville Network Interface Card (NIC) and the ptp4l and phc2sys software elements from the Linux PTP Project. Eventually, this evolved to support the Boundary Clock (BC) use case in Red Hat OpenShift 4.9 ..read more
