Roadmap

In progress milestones

Milestone 4: Client Server PTP

This milestone will add experimental Client Server PTP with NTS to ntpd-rs using the Statime library. During 2026, as the IEEE spec evolves, the implementation will be updated.

  • Experimental implementation for Client Server PTP in ntpd-rs
  • Updates to the implementation as the spec evolves

This work is supported by Meinberg.

Milestone 5: Clock synchronization library

This milestone will extract shared clock synchronization functionality in ntpd-rs and and Statime. The result is a new library with potentially small improvements to clock synchronization performance.

  • More details soon

This work is supported by NLnet.

Future work

Milestone 6: Automotive profile

This milestone adds the automotive profile to the statime library and deamon, according to Automotive Ethernet AVB.

  • Implementation: Support for Generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP)
  • Improvements: Automotive specific fixes for Automotive Ethernet AVB
  • Documentation: Documentation of automotive profile options and example configuration

Status: Pending funding. Requested funding €17.500.
