In a financial production network, time is not "as close as possible", but "must be consistent and traceable". When relying only on NTP, queuing jitter and path asymmetry across three layers and congestion can magnify deviations and tail risks to the millisecond-microsecond scale; PTP transforms source-to-end errors from uncontrollable fluctuations to budgetable, attributable, and manageable ones through hardware timestamps on the NIC/switching chip, boundary/transparent clocks, and (optionally) SyncE. PTP turns "source-network" errors from uncontrollable fluctuations into budgetable, attributable, auditable quantities of work through hardware timestamps on the NIC/switch chip and (optional) SyncE. With the T830 as the core, without interrupting the NTP of the existing network, the critical links are stabilized to the low-microsecond level first, and then tightened to the sub-microsecond/hundred-nanosecond level in the controlled core segments, so that minimal modification is made in exchange for maximum verifiability and compliance certainty.
