Summary - G.8275.2 (02/2026) - Precision time protocol telecom profile for phase/time synchronization with partial timing support from the network

Recommendation ITU-T G.8275.2 specifies a profile for telecommunication applications based on the precision time protocol (PTP) per IEEE 1588. This profile specifies the PTP functions that are necessary to ensure network element interoperability for the delivery of accurate phase/time (and frequency) synchronization. The profile is based on the use of partial timing support (PTS) or assisted partial timing support (APTS) from the network architecture as described in Recommendation ITUT G.8274, and definitions described in Recommendation ITU-T G.8260. Common aspects of PTP profiles for phase/time synchronization are specified in Recommendation ITU-T G.8275.
