Selectively timestamping only sync messages can be useful in networks
with very large numbers of clients sharing the same communication
path, so they don't need to timestamp each others delay requests and
possibly miss the timestamp of server's sync message.

If the hardware supports the type-specific filters, I think ptp4l
should be able to set it.
