# White Rabbit Standardization in IEEE1588-2008
|
|
|
|
|
|
The White Rabbit extension of the IEEE1588-2008 standard is being
|
|
|
generalized into a text of the upcoming release of the standard. This
|
|
|
process is now in the final stage and it is due to finish around 2018,
|
|
|
publication of the standard in 2019. Once finished, the generalized
|
|
|
White Rabbit (under the name High Accuracy) will be the third default
|
|
|
PTP Profile included in Annex J of the IEEE1588.
|
|
|
The White Rabbit (WR) extension of the IEEE1588-2008 standard has being
|
|
|
generalized into a text of the 2019 edition of the standard (IEEE1588-2019).
|
|
|
The standardization process of WR has finished with the publication of IEEE1588-2019
|
|
|
on 15 June 2020. The generalized White Rabbit (under the name High Accuracy) is
|
|
|
the third default PTP Profile included in Annex I of the IEEE1588-2019.
