Several terms defined in Part 82 are also defined in 60802. Ideally, we would refer to 60802, but must wait until it is released. So, we should consider reconciling the definitions in Part 82 with 60802.

As of today, the following are the 60802 definitions of the Terms defined differently but similarly in Part 82:

Bridge component
Customer Virtual Local Area Network (C-VLAN) component as defined in IEEE Std 802.1Q 2022

end station component
end station entity as defined in IEEE Std 802-2014

Global Time
synchronized time, derived from a gPTP domain, that is traceable to the PTP timescale

IA-station
material element or assembly of one or more end station components, and zero, one or more bridge components

Working Clock
synchronized time, derived from a gPTP domain, that is traceable to the PTP timescale, or to an ARB timescale that is continuous
Note 1 to entry: In general, the Working Clock is traceable to an ARB timescale; however, the Working Clock time can be correlated to a recognized timing standard.
