Re: [Linuxptp-devel] [RFC 1/1] Add avnu_ap to enable AVnu Automotive Profile

[Cliff S. <csp...@go...>]

I don't like the complexity this overlays into ptp4l's state machine.

Could you explain why you'd want to use this instead of a more standard
profile? Having a grandmaster send an announce message doesn't seem like a
significant burden to an automotive ethernet network, and ptp4l already
supports a slave-only mode.

I don't think that an automotive network is sufficiently different from an
industrial network to necessitate a special profile, especially one that
changes core behavior of the protocol.
