  Two synchronization layers for timing systems in large experimental physics control systems are compared. White Rabbit (WR), which is an emerging standard, is compared against the well-established event based approach. Several typical timing system services have been implemented on an FPGA using WR to explore its concepts and architecture, which is fundamentally different from an event based. Both timing system synchronization layers were evaluated based on typical requirements of current accelerator projects and with regard to other parameters such as scalability. The proposed design methodology demonstrates how WR can be deployed in future accelerator projects.
