Specify the priority1 preference level to override the default criteria for
◆
best master clock selection. Lower values take precedence.
◆
The best master clock algorithm (BMC), performs a distributed
selection of the best candidate clock based on the following clock
properties.
Priority – An administratively assigned precedence hint used by the
■
BMC to help select a grandmaster for the PTP domain.
Class – An attribute defining the clock's International Atomic Time
■
(TAI) traceability.
Accuracy – An attribute defining the accuracy of the clock.
■
Variance – A clock's estimate of its stability based on observation of
■
its performance against the PTP reference.
Quality – Clock quality based on expected timing deviation,
■
technology used to implement the clock or location in a stratum
schema.
Identifier – A universally unique numeric identifier for the clock.
■
This is typically constructed based on a device's MAC address.
PTP uses a hierarchical selection algorithm based on the following
◆
properties in the order indicated.
Priority 1

Class
