Package: ptpd
Version: 2.3.0-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I used ptpd to synchronize the clocks between two hosts (A and B). Both sync 
via multicast with 
a master. All three hosts are connected via a gigabit switch. I conducted a 
bandwith test 
with iperf to send traffic from A to B. After the test the ptpd daemon on host 
A started 
using 100% of its assgined CPU core. Since ptpd did not stop to run at a 100% I 
was forced to 
stop and restart the daemon. I was able to reproduce this behavior multiple 
times.

Best Regards
Simon
