ptp4l prints the estimated network delay of sync messages including
timestamping errors.

phc2sys prints the time it takes to read the system clock and
hardware clock in order to measure the offset. That includes delays in
the CPU, PCIe and the NIC.

You can enable clock steps with the step_threshold option. See the
ptp4l and phc2sys man pages.
