https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol#Message_transport """ PTP messages may use the User Datagram Protocol over Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) for transport. [...] Event messages are sent to port number 319. General messages use port number 320. """ https://doi.org/10.1109/IEEESTD.2008.4579760 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers Lists ports 319 and 320 as officially well known UDP port for PTP.
