Hello, according to IEEE 1588-2008 Annex D.4 it is possible to set the transport specific bit to signal that PTP event (and Announce) messages have to be padded. Now we are discussing here, if that consequently allows to have a mixed mode PTP-Network, where one or more hosts set this bit and others don't. While we see here, that linuxptp denies such mixed mode (you have to choose it by your config), we don't see that the standard would forbid it.
So, is there a standard-backed reason to choose that implementation in linuxptp or has is it just a behaviour (f.e. by simplicity in implementation, etc.), that should be changed in future versions?
