2.16.1.2 The PTP Statistics Panel
This panel provides statistics for each Ethernet port. If the PTP is set to OFF for a specific
port, this screen will not display any information.
All statistics shown are based on the traffic that is detectable by SecureSync, i.e. in a
Unicast environment, SecureSync may only detect traffic that is addressed to it, based on
switch configuration.
