II II Abstract With the development of all-IP in transport network as well as the growing development of 3G/LTE, synchronization technology of packet transport network becomes one of the hot sports in current research and application. In the process of evolution from circuit-switched technology to packet-switched technology of transport network, high quality performance of timing and synchronization must be provided by packet transport network, in order for it to be compatible with traditional TDM services and able to bear 3G/LTE wireless service. IEEE 1588 protocol is widely used in the packet transport network that requires timing and synchronization. The realization of IEEE 1588 system and its clock module with high accuracy is one of the important research subjects for synchronization and timing technology of packet transport network. This paper analyzes factors that influence the synchronization accuracy in IEEE 1588 system, as well as the key implementation technology of IEEE 1588 protocol. On this basis, module with PTP multicast communication function and prototype system of hardware clock is designed and implemented. The prototype system is realized in embedded FPGA system, which can function as an adjustable hardware clock. Hardware platform of the embedded FPGA contains soft core of configurable processor called MicroBlaze, and soft core of related peripherals such as network interface and PTP clock. As for the embedded operating system PetaLinux, driver in the kernel is designed to control multicast, so that the MAC soft core can be driven to work in promiscuous mode and able to support multicast. Finally, the functionality of the prototype system is testified. In order to verify the realization of PTP multicast, Wireshark is used to observe the process of communication between the prototype system and the ptpd simulator, packets captured show that the module for multicast functions well. As for the Hardware clock, ChipScope is used to watch signals in t
