ITC/USA 2013 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Ninth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 21-24, 2013 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / A Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) system may consist of equipment that either supports PTPv1 (IEEE 1588 Std 2002) or PTPv2 (IEEE 1588 Std 2008). The challenge in such time distributed system is the poor compatibility between the two PTP protocol versions. This paper describes how to combine the PTP versions in the same network with minimum or no manual configuration.
