Re: [Linuxptp-users] Frequency Adjustment

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

I guess a little bit of both.  From looking things up on google or
different forums all I could find was kind of circular (i.e. 'frequency
adjustment is the computer adjusting it's frequency')  I figured it had
something to do with the clock pulse of the individual machines but I don't
want to guess.  I have to present some information and I want to make sure
I sound reasonably intelligent.  Any info would be appreciated.
