fleet PTP offset-from-master target the time-sync gate must demonstrate, under load and across every node

sub-µsobserved

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeMeta's February 2024 SPTP report gives fleet offset-from-master distributions for more than 100,000 clients, with the sub-microsecond values presented graphically. Treat it as the target the acceptance sweep must demonstrate on your own fleet, under load and across every node, not as a standards threshold.
