[Linuxptp-users] Issue in 802.1AS

[Aman S. <ama...@gm...>]

Hi All,

We are running gPTP between two linux machines having Broadcom switch as a
intermidate device.In this Broadcom switch also support gPTP i.e 802.1AS
.So in this case Broadcom switch act as a P2P transparent clock with Port 1
and Port 2.Port 1 is connected to Laptop_1 and Port 2 is connected to
Laptop_2.

When running* Laptop_1 :- Master mode* and  *Laptop_2 :- Slave mode*
and *Broadcom
switch :- P2P transparent clock*.

And Correction field is updated to the residence delay at the Laptop_2.

In this,My question is this : In The transparent clock, Port 1 act as
Master mode and Port 2 act as slave mode.
But I read that It will just send the Peer 2 peer delays packets and update
the correction field according to the residence time.Means No master or
slave mode are there in the Transparent clock.

*I want to know, whether gPTP supports boundary clock mode or not?*

Can you Please help me in this.
