[Linuxptp-users] IEEE802.1AS support?

[Eliot B. <ebl...@au...>]

Greetings,

Seeing the commit of raw ethernet transport, I wonder if there are any
plans to support 802.1AS (aka gPTP)?

Section 7.5 of the standard[1] covers differences between gPTP and PTP

Very basic ways that gPTP is different from PTP
* layer 2 only, PTPv2 only
* only uses the peer to peer multicast address
* 4-bit transportSpecific field in PTP header is 0x1
* most other differences are ways in which gPTP is a subset of PTP


(Aside: I followed the links from http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/ to
linuxptp-devel archives, but they appear to be empty - is that mailing
list active, or is this list being used instead?)

regards
