White Rabbit PTP Profile (WRPTP)
Technical aspects
- To be studied
Non-technical aspects
- have to be sponsored by one of the technical societies (e.g.: the TC-9 Sensors committee) or some sort of consortium of scientific (CERN-like) organizations (CERN alone is rather not an "other organization as appropriate" [1] to submit PTP profile)
- must decide whether WR is to be just a profile (like telecom) or actually a separate standard (like 802.1AS), details
[1]Citing from IEEE 1588-2008, page 185, section 19.3.2:
_A PTP profile may be developed by external organizations, including:
a) A recognized standards organization with jurisdiction over the
industry, e.g., the IEC, IEEE, IETF, ANSI, or ITU
b) An industry trade association or other similar organization
recognized within the industry as having standards authority for the
industry
c) Other organizations as appropriate_
