1. Proposed title of this feature request

Adhere the holdover period for PTP Operator

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Samsung is expected to adhere to the holdover period for whatever reason(natural disaster, equipment problems, NIC firmware issue etc).

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

When GNSS signal is connected and PTP status is Locked, if the offset value unexpectedly exceeds the threshold, the PTP status immediately changes to Freerun. This creates a possibility that the connection between the vDU and connected RU equipment may be lost.

Samsung’s Requirement for Enhancement:

Request to enhance the system so that it does not immediately transit to Free run based on Holdover conditions, but instead maintains status for a certain period. If the offset value recovers to normal, it should transit to Locked status. If the Holdover condition is exceeded, it should transit to Free run.

Competitor Status : Under the same conditions, competitors provide functionality that maintains holdover within certain error occurrence frequency limits (e.g., error_count), allowing the system to maintain holdover status as long as it remains within these limits.

4. List any affected packages or components.
