White Rabbit (WR) extends the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) This article provides an overview of applications and
\\ enhancements to the White Rabbit (WR) extension of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
\\ Initially developed to serve accelerators at the European Organization for
\\ Nuclear Research (CERN), WR has become widely-used synchronization solution
\\ in scientific installations. This article classifies WR applications
\\ into five types, briefly explains each and describes its example
\\ installations. It then summarizes WR enhancements that have been triggered by
\\ such proliferation of applications and WR's integration into the PTP.
With its wide adaptation in science, commercial support,
up-coming standardization and EU-founded projects to catalyze applications in the
industry, we can conclude that WR applications will continue to proliferate, both
in science and industry.
