The choice of client/server versus source/sink depends on the context. Use client/server for network ports. Use source/sink for clocks. > 2.

Old should be left alone. Exception: User visible strings (log messages) should use terminology from IEEE 1588v2.1. > I see, for example, the management IDs remain with IEEE terminologie. > 3.
