White Rabbit Standardization
The White Rabbit (WR) extension of the IEEE1588-2008 standard has been generalized into a text of the 2019 edition of the IEEE1588 standard (IEEE1588-2019). The standardization process of WR finished with the publication of IEEE1588-2019 on 15 June 2020. The generalized White Rabbit (under the name High Accuracy) is the third default PTP Profile included in Annex I of the IEEE1588-2019, along with a number of optional features; see details of White Rabbit integration into IEEE1588-2019 as High Accuracy.
This wiki page documents the project of WR standardization that started in 2012 and finished in 2020. The goal of the project was to transform the White Rabbit extension of IEEE1588 into a recognized standard. The feasibility of the project goal, the target standard, the means and process of standardizing were all within the scope of this project.

WR clock tests according to G.8262 using SyncE tester.
The tests were performed with Paragon-X, made available to CERN by Calnex, to compare WR L1 syntonization with SyncE characteristics, the results are expected to be potentially useful/interesting for P1588 High Accuracy work.
