Title: Exploring the White Rabbit synchronization scheme for the KM3NeT

Abstract content The KM3NeT readout system bases its functionality on a point-to-point optical network connecting thousands of optical modules in the deep-sea neutrino telescope with the shore station. Even though the network functionality is bi-directional the upstream and downstream data transmissions present different requirements, since most channels are assigned to the data reception and only a few channels are used for control with data transport from shore to the telescope. In order to meet the systems demands of synchronizing the numerous detectors and achieving sub-nanosecond accuracy the open hardware White Rabbit (WR) project is being considered for use in KM3NeT. White Rabbit is a fully deterministic Ethernet-based network for general purpose data transfer and synchronization. In this paper we discuss the particular requirements of KM3NeT and their impact on the WR synchronization scheme. Further, we present our experiences based on the WR switch as part of the KM3NeT shore station.
