While deploying Precision Time Protocol (PTP) at Meta, we’ve developed a simplified version of the protocol (Simple Precision Time Protocol – SPTP), that can offer the same level of clock synchronization as unicast PTPv2 more reliably and with fewer resources. The number of network exchanges is drastically reduced.

Remember PC-2 knows the MAC address of the PC-1 when responding to ARP Request, so ARP Response is NOT broadcast, it is Unicast communication between PC-2 and PC-1. The benefit of this process is, that next time when PC-1 wants to communicate with PC-2, it doesnt need to send a broadcast on the network. PC-1 maps the IP address 1.1.1.2

PTP’s predecessor, Network Time Protocol (NTP) , provided us with millisecond precision, but as we scale to more advanced systems on our way to building the next computing platform, the metaverse and AI, we need to ensure that our servers are keeping time as accurately and precisely as possible. Buckle up — we are going for a deep dive.
