Can you justify why we should *always* want this? perhaps there's reason to want a different subnet. We already force the specific interface via its index, so this only helps in the case where there are multiple subnets on the same interface.. Would it make better sense to allow a configuration option to specify which subet? _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-devel mailing list Linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-devel
