Hi Richard, There is a demand for changing PORT_DATA_SET and probably CLOCK_DESCRIPTION while ptp4l is running. The main reason is due to the circumstances involved for stopping ptp4l, modifying the config file (possibly from remote!), restarting ptp4l, and the likelihood of config file corruption. Having a network API (TLVs) to modify attributes would be more elegant and safe. If we want to complete the SET/GET TLVs for pmc/ptp4l, who would you recommend to do this? It should be aligned with the allowed GET/SET actions as defined in IEEE1588-2008, table 40 - managementtld values.
