[ptpd - Help] Questions on products and licensing

[gertjan hofman]

John,

Not entirely sure what you mean.  Ixxat has had a commercial version for 5
years, see:

http://www.ixxat.com/ieee-1588-stack-v2_en.html

I evaluated it about 3 years and decided that the open source version had
some advantages.


Re license - yes,  use of the 1588 protocol, regardless of the
hard/software will always fall under the Lucent license - at least that is
the understanding of the lawyers of the company I work for.  Cost are not
prohibitive.

The kernel implementation came too late for us - I should dig into it some
more. I seem to recall there was strong reluctance at Red Hat to distribute
it due to the patents issues. Is this no longer true ?

Cheers

Gertjan
