This statistics table breaks down the number of PTP packets sent or received on the WAN and

LAN ports as follows:

Row

Description (LAN/WAN Rx/Tx Columns)

Event Port

Number of packets (PTP or other) received on the PTP UDP event-message port.

General Port

Number of packets (PTP or other) received on the PTP UDP general-message port.

Announce

Number of PTP announce messages received from another PTP device.

Sync

Number of synchronization messages received from a master PTP device.

Followup

Number of follow-up messages received from a 2-step-clock master PTP device.

Delay Req

Number of Delay Request messages received from a slave device.

Delay Resp

Number of Delay Response messages sent to a slave device.

Mgmt

Number of PTP management messages received by the modem.

Signal

Number of PTP signaling messages received by the modem.

Discarded

Total number of PTP packets discarded by the modem.

Note: Some discarded messages are normal. For example, if the modem receives

a PTP message while it is configuring its PTP port, it will discard that message.

1.

At present, PTP is not supported in modems in which the optional IP Packet

Processor is installed and enabled.

2.

For better PTP clock accuracy, ingress and egress port sync interval shall be

at least 2 seconds.

3.

PTP Master Devices send Announce, Sync, Followup, and Delay Response

messages, while PTP Slave Devices send Delay Request messages.

4.

PTP is a UDP multicast protocol. When negotiating with devices over the LAN

interface, the modem uses UDP Port 319 for events, and UDP Port 320 for

general packets. On the WAN interface, the modem uses UDP Port 59319 for

events, and UDP Port 59320 for general packets.
