Isn't that negligible when compared to the sync/announce traffic? For the default sync/announce rate of 1.5 per second, does it matter that there is a request every hour instead of every day, or month? The main reason I thought the duration should be limited is clients that are powered off without canceling their grants, potentially preventing other clients getting their grants if the total rate is limited, or even themselves if they change IP address frequently. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-devel
