Abstract
System, methods, and devices for sharing time information between machines are provided. In one example, a system includes a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Hardware Clock (PHC) and an application. The application receives time information from the PHC along with contextual metadata associated with the time information, analyzes the contextual metadata associated with the time information, and determines a context in which the PHC is disciplined. The context in which the PHC is disciplined may control a manner in which the application uses the time information.
