My GM (running ptp4l) is currently using NTP to set the system clock. I'm
not sure how to get NTP to give me a "correct" TAI offset (which I could
supply to PMC, for phc2sys to use).
My slaves *are* running ptp4l (and phc2sys). The only devices not using
ptp4l are the Cisco boundary clocks.
Here's a simplified diagram of what it looks like:
Boundary Clock 2 <>
Boundary Clock 3 <> Slaves 2
Grandmaster <> Boundary Clock 1 <>
Slaves 1
GM (ptp4l) has 35 / invalid
BC1 (Cisco) has 35 / invalid
BC2/3 (Cisco) have 36 / valid
Slaves (ptp4l) have 36 / valid
