From RouterOS v7.17

The Precision Time Protocol (PTP), developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), is a protocol used to synchronize clocks across a local area network. It is essential in industries and applications where precise timing is critical, such as telecommunications, finance, and industrial automation. PTP typically ensures time accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, but nanosecond-level accuracy is also achievable when hardware requirements are met. MikroTik’s implementation of PTP supports IEEE 1588-2008 (PTPv2) and includes hardware timestamping capabilities that ensure synchronization within the nanosecond range.
