[Linuxptp-users] Issue when partner machine reboots

[Keller, J. E <jac...@in...>]

I am having an issue when two machines are hooked up for ptp. If one side reboots, the other side will never recover. This happens even after the port timeout for reseting the fault. I think the reason this occurs is because the socket for UDP goes invalid when the interface goes down because of the loss of link. Is there a way to solve this so that ptp4l would properly re-initialize when coming back? (attempt to re-get the entire sockets etc?)

Or is this just an invalid usecase and I should expect to have to reset the daemon if its partners go down?
