Hi,
I have the same request about unicast either uds or pptp4l.
Actually, Shall it call hybrid mode? Master send sync and follow up by 
multicast, slave send Delay_Req to master by unicast, master send 
Delay_Resp to slave by unicast if E2E mode.
I don't know why you don't implement this, but unicast really reduce the 
network loading than multicast, doesn't it? And maybe multicast have the 
limitation of communication between master and slave if one of them is 
behind the secure gateway or high-end router?
Anyway, would you provide the whole patch for unicast based on linuxptp-
1.5. After I change the address instead of multicast in trasnport_send, 
it really send to host, but always failed in poll in sk_recceive.

Regards,
Duncan
