Multicast Ttl: [1 through 255] Time-to-live (packet lifespan) — Sets the TTL field
for PTP packets except for Peer-to-Peer packets for which TTL is forced to 1 as spe-
cified in IEEE Std 1588-2008 Annex D.3.
Unicast Ttl: [64] Time to live for Unicast packets.
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 VersaSync, i.e. in a Unicast
environment, VersaSync may only detect traffic that is addressed to it, based on switch con-
figuration.

PTP Node: IP address of PTPnode.
Clock Identity: [e.g., "a0:36:9f:ff:fe:37:b9:5d"]
Domain: Domain number of the selected PTP node.
Unicast: [0,1] OFF or ON (1)
Last Time: [e.g., "2016-08-12 18:19:15"] The last time a packet was received.
Average Rate: [e.g., "0.0624986091344933"] Indicates how often the selected
message has been detected (in seconds e.g., "1.0" would mean once every second).
