Precision Time Protocol (PTP), IEEE 1588-2008 aka IEEE 1588 v2 / PTPv2.

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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

Lists ports 319 and 320 as officially well known UDP port for PTP.
Usually over local Gigabit Ethernet networks.

lists them too:

In practice only UDP is defined in standards and used in the wild.


I also spotted it in /usr/share/nmap/nmap-services from nmap-common package.

Thanks.
