How Do Precision Time Protocols (Like PTP) Mitigate the Effects of Network Jitter?

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronizes the clocks of all servers and network devices in the trading infrastructure to a highly accurate master clock source. This accurate time-stamping allows the system to precisely measure and compensate for the variation in packet arrival times (jitter).

By providing a common, highly accurate time reference, PTP helps ensure that events are processed in the correct order, regardless of network delays.
