First of all, the telecom profile is unicast only.  We do not support
unicast.

Secondly, from the telecom profile:

   A.3.4 REQUEST_UNICAST_TRANSMISSION TLV

   For requesting unicast Sync messages: The configurable range shall
   be one message every 16 seconds to 128 messages per second. No
   default rate is specified.

   For requesting unicast Delay_Resp messages: The configurable range
   shall be one message every 16 seconds to 128 messages per
   second. No default rate is specified.

   ITU-T G.8265.1  page 20

So, your 512 figure is *way* out of spec.

> ***I understand the 1-step part. However, reducing DelayReq might not make sense. Average path delay should be at least half the rate of Sync packets to statistically arrive at better values of path delay. 1Hz seems quite low especially for telecom applications.

If the path is not changing, then it does not make sense to measure it
so often.  I would expect a telecom network to be engineered to have
fixed delays.

This means using Linux kernel version 3.10 or newer.
