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.

Network Jitter

Variation ⎊ Network jitter is the measurable variation in the time delay, or latency, experienced by successive data packets carrying market data or trade orders across a network path.
