  2. Precision Time Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol

    The Precision Time Protocol ( PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network. On a local area network, it achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems. [1] PTP is employed to synchronize financial transactions, mobile phone tower transmissions, sub-sea ...

  3. List of PTP implementations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PTP_implementations

    Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a widely adopted protocol for delivery of precise time over a computer network. A complete PTP system includes PTP functionality in network equipment and hosts. PTP may be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of both. PTP is implemented in end systems and in PTP-aware networking hardware.

  4. Point-to-point (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-point...

    In telecommunications, a point-to-point connection refers to a communications connection between two communication endpoints or nodes. An example is a telephone call, in which one telephone is connected with one other, and what is said by one caller can only be heard by the other. This is contrasted with a point-to-multipoint or broadcast ...

  5. Picture Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol

    Picture Transfer Protocol ( PTP) is a protocol originally developed by the Photographic and Imaging Manufacturers Association (PIMA) (later known as the International Imaging Industry Association) to allow the transfer of images from digital cameras to computers and other peripheral devices without the need for additional device drivers.

  6. Prothrombin Time (PT/INR) Blood Test for Clotting Time - WebMD

    www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/prothrombin-time

    A typical PT result is 10 to 14 seconds. Higher than that means your blood is taking longer than normal to clot and may be a sign of many conditions, including: Bleeding or clotting disorder. Lack ...

  7. Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol

    In computer networking, Point-to-Point Protocol ( PPP) is a data link layer (layer 2) communication protocol between two routers directly without any host or any other networking in between. It can provide loop detection, authentication, transmission encryption, [1] and data compression . PPP is used over many types of physical networks ...

  8. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling...

    The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol ( PPTP) is an obsolete method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP has many well known security issues. PPTP uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets. Many modern VPNs use various forms of UDP for this same functionality.

  9. Precision Time Protocol Industry Profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol...

    The PTP Industrial Profile (PIP) is a standard of the IEC 62439-3 [1] that specifies in its Annex C two Precision Time Protocol IEEE 1588 / IEC 61588 profiles, L3E2E and L2P2P, to synchronize network clocks with an accuracy of 1 μs and provide fault-tolerance against clock failures. The IEC 62439-3 PTP profiles are applicable to most ...
