It depends on the number of boundary hops.

They should use -b0.

This is the data you asked for.

And this appeared because some one on the local network did "get
port_data_set" with -b1 (or more).  The responses will be passed
through one BC, and your local ptp4l is a BC with two ports, eth0 and
UDS.  Therefore, your local pmc sees the replies.
