<para>
The clocks synchronized by <systemitem class="protocol">PTP</systemitem> are organized in a master-slave hierarchy. The slaves are synchronized to their masters which may be slaves to their own masters. The hierarchy is created and updated automatically by the <firstterm>best master clock</firstterm> (<acronym>BMC</acronym>) algorithm, which runs on every clock. When a clock has only one port, it can be <firstterm>master</firstterm> or <firstterm>slave</firstterm>, such a clock is called an <firstterm>ordinary clock</firstterm> (<acronym>OC</acronym>). A clock with multiple ports can be master on one port and slave on another, such clock is called a <firstterm>boundary</firstterm> clock (<acronym>BC</acronym>). The top- level master is called the grandmaster clock, which can be synchronized by <firstterm>Global Positioning System</firstterm> (<acronym>GPS</acronym>). By using a GPS-based time source, disparate networks can be synchronized with a high-degree of accuracy
