[Linuxptp-users] New article explaining PTP and NTP

[Richard C. <ric...@gm...>]

I just stumbled over Miroslav's recent article.

  http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2016/07/20/combining-ptp-with-ntp-to-get-the-best-of-both-worlds/

It gives a thorough treatment of NTP and PTP.  Nice work!
(Now I know what the timemaster is good for ;)

Regarding redundancy (resiliency) using PTP, I have been giving it
some thought recently.  There are different possibilities out there,
for example operating in two or more domains, using the alternate
master option, or even running under HSR/PRP.  The new TSN protocol is
also going to address redundancy, IIRC.

So I think we will add redundancy to linuxptp, but I don't know which
flavor(s) it will be.  I am taking a "wait and see" approach.  In the
mean time, if anyone want to take on this issue, please go right
ahead...

Thanks,
Richard
