    Hello,
    I have a PTP master (not a real Grand Master, rather ptp daemon in a linux server is configured as free running PTP master) which is sending time downstream to several PTP slaves. I would like to do a leap second testing by sending fake leap second announce message and insertion from the PTP master.
    This is to test if the clients handled leap second correctly or not.
    I see there is a method for NTP (although I have not tested that) and the method is ...
    wget ftp://nist...../leap-seconds.list
    vi /etc/ntp/conf
    server 10.10.....
    fudge 10.10..... stratum 10
    leapfile "/var/ntp/.../leap-seconds.list" <<=This is the file downloaded above
    service ntp restart
    Do I have a similar method for PTP daemons working as a master that can read the leap-seconds.list file and send the leap second to downstream client?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Does anyone has idea on how to test this in a linux server configured as a PTP master to send Leap second to test how the PTP slaves handle the leap second ?
    Thanks
