Hello, I hope you will forgive my fairly uninformed intrusion: I’m still learning about PTP.
I’d like to be able to configure ptp4l to act as a ‘gateway’ BC on a single interface. This is to prototype a protocol gateway between two audio protocols, AVB/TSN (which uses 802.1AS) and AES67 (PTPv2). I’ve modified ptp4l to support multiple ports on a single interface, separating configuration stanza name from interface name – e.g. one can specify [eth0:PTPv2] with one network_transport and [eth0:802AS] with another (the stanza suffix has no significance except to disambiguate and is not returned by interface_name()) Questions: is a BC between two different PTP profiles permissible? Are there any restrictions on which profile can be the master? Testing with a PTPv2 master and a 802.1AS works though synchronisation is unstable, but this could be due to the master device or my NIC (waiting for an i210 to arrive). (NB there’s no specific desire for a single interface except as I understand it I would otherwise need a NIC with a single PHC shared by multiple ports. ts2phc doesn’t work with my current NIC.)
