[Linuxptp-users] Frequency Adjustment

[Vanderpool, C. <cly...@ax...>]

Hello,

I am pretty new to both Linux and the IEEE 1588.  However, somehow I
managed to build up my own kernel in order to implement Linux-PTP on a LAN
consisting of 8 different machines.  Even more surprising is that it seems
to be working!  I have been tasked to collect the time data from all the
different clocks on the network and give a synopsis of how well this
implementation of PTP is working.  Most of the information from the 'pmc'
and 'ptp4l' commands are pretty straight forward, but I was wondering what
'frequency adjustment' actually means.  If anyone could just give me a
brief description of what this pertains to I would be very grateful.  I
just want to make sure I can present the information to my boss in a
somewhat intelligent manner.  Thank you in advance.
