It is specified in one of the telecom profiles.  The ITU published two
profiles.

1. ITU-1 G.8265.1 Frequency Profile
2. ITU-T G.8275.1 Time and Phase Profile

#1 specifies unicast negotiation, forbidding multicast, boundary
 clocks, and transparent clocks.

#2 specifies multicast, forbidding unicast.  Transparent clocks are
 also not allowed, but they are named as a future possibility.

Both profiles exhibit a surprising level of cluelessness, but #1 is
worse than the other.

Thanks,
Richard
