Hello everyone!

I am looking for help configuring a 2 port NIC as boundary clock. The PTP sync is coming in on one port and I want to forward it to the other one. I got something working but the sync is not as good as I expected. The sync on the receiving port looks like this:

ptp4l[775]: [325626.344]: rms    7 max   13 freq -33893 +/-  11 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325626.344]: rms    7 max   13 freq -33893 +/-  11 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325627.469]: rms    5 max   11 freq -33891 +/-   9 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325627.469]: rms    5 max   11 freq -33891 +/-   9 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325628.594]: rms    4 max    9 freq -33893 +/-   6 delay   169 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325628.594]: rms    4 max    9 freq -33893 +/-   6 delay   169 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325629.718]: rms    9 max   14 freq -33884 +/-  14 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325629.718]: rms    9 max   14 freq -33884 +/-  14 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325630.843]: rms    3 max    5 freq -33886 +/-   5 delay   170 +/-   1 ptp4l[775]: [325630.843]: rms    3 max    5 freq -33886 +/-   5 delay   170 +/-   1

Unfortunately, the sync on the server receiving the sync from the BC looks like this:

ptp4l[3297.441]: master offset         42 s2 freq   +9338 path delay       319 ptp4l[3298.441]: master offset        -10 s2 freq   +9298 path delay       319 ptp4l[3299.441]: master offset         19 s2 freq   +9324 path delay       319 ptp4l[3300.441]: master offset        -23 s2 freq   +9288 path delay       321 ptp4l[3301.441]: master offset         11 s2 freq   +9315 path delay       321 ptp4l[3302.441]: master offset        -22 s2 freq   +9285 path delay       322 ptp4l[3303.441]: master offset          6 s2 freq   +9307 path delay       322

Is there a way to improve the configuration? I found the boundary_clock_jbod parameter but setting it to 1 didn't improve the sync. Can someone provide a configuration for a simple BC setup with one two-port NIC? What is the sync quality I can expect? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Nils
