STAC-TS is the established benchmark standard in Capital Markets for assessing time synchronization performance.  This report is a custom performance exploration of a long-distance terrestrial time service against a local GNSS steered reference source under several familiar networking scenarios, taking inspiration from the STAC-TS methodology.

 
Detailed results can be found in the report but the main highlight is:

  • Baseline accuracy was approximately 313 ns mean absolute offset (sub-microsecond).
  • The remote PTP service delivered a mean oAset of approximately 3.3 μs over the long-distance link.
  • A Transparent switch added minimal overhead.
  • A Firewall introduced significant jitter (P99 of approximately 74 μs).
