> Why on earth would you want it? Thank you for your quick answer. In fact we have a project here, that uses such mixed-mode network (some devices set that bit, other don't). To distinguish between gPTP and PTP one could just use the additional information about the transport layer, since gPTP uses Layer 2 while the hardwareCompatibility bit is defined for Layer 4. According to your information we now will decide how to go on.
