IGMP snooping and GMRP for ltering multicast  
data trafc
Weidmüller managed switches support GMRP (Generic 
Multicast Registration Protocol) and IGMP snooping. 
These protocols limit multicast data trafc so that it is only 
forwarded to the devices that actually require it. This reduces 
unnecessary network data trafc. 
IEEE 1588 PTP - improves time synchronisation of
automation devices
IEEE 1588 PTP, also known as Precision Time Protocol (PTP), 
was developed to synchronise real-time clocks which are 
located at specic nodes of a distributed system. Weidmüller 
managed switches with IEEE 1588 PTP are particularly 
suited for motion control applications where distributed 
clocks must be synchronised with high levels of
accuracy.
QoS supports real-time capability 
Quality of Service (QoS) enables the possibility of 
prioritisation of data trafc in a network and ensures 
that important data is consistently available. Weidmüller 
managed switches can deal with IEEE 802.1p/1Q layer 
2 CoS tags and also layer 3 TOS information. The QoS 
functionality of Weidmüller’s managed switches improves 
network performance and ensures that time-critical 
applications are given priority.
