I have not tried PTP over a Linux SW bridge, and I am not sure if the kernel stack will play along. In my experience, Linux SW bridging is a bit flakey. (PTP *does* work over tun/tap, but only after I patched the kernel.) > So what is the bridge messing up? And is there a way to fix it? The default transport is multicast UDP. Maybe the SW bridge is dropping multicast. Run wireshark on the end points to see if the PTP messages are getting through. > I would appreciate any insight I can get.

One easy thing to try is Layer2 transport: ptp4l -i eth0 -m -q -2 This doesn't require the stack to join the multicast group, and so maybe it will "just work."
