Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1AS | Clause: | B.1.3.2 |
Clause title: | Wander generation |
Rationale for revision
In the label of the vertical axis of the plot of Figure B.2, Allan Deviation (ADEV) should be dimensionless, i.e., it does not have units of time. Note that Table B.2, on p.247, is correct; it is only the label in the plot that is incorrect.
Note that this change was proposed in a comment during the sponsor ballot recirculation for P802.1AS-Cor-1 (comment #9 in the final comment resolution for draft D3.1). The comment was rejected because it was out of scope, but the committee thought it would be desirable to make this fix in P802.1ASbt, and indicated the editor should submit this item for entry in the maintenance database.
Proposed text
Change the label of the vertical axis of Figure B.2 from "ADEV (ns)" to "ADEV".
Impact on existing networks
There will be no impact on existing networks. This change corrects a minor error in a figure; users knowledgeable of timing and synchronization will realize that ADEV is dimensionless (and will also note that Table B.2 is correct).
