can operate as a Stratum-1 NTP server to provide of this time. In this regard, Stratum-1 NTP server is
the same as SNTP server.
EdgeSync can operate as a PTP grandmaster or as a NTP Stratum-1 server, by getting time reference
from GNSS and distributing that over the network to PTP slaves or NTP clients. If SNTP is enabled,
then EdgeSync can service both, PTP slaves as well as NTP clients.

Network Operator’s or Carrier’s perspective
The diagram below shows the carrier’s perspective of the network with a view of the synchronization

world, the synchronization flow is hierarchical, starting from the core and propagating down to the end-
points.
