Hi,

I'm trying to do something similar but slightly different than Vadim on
this thread https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxptp/mailman/message/35980617/

I too have PTP ethernet cameras that need the full bandwidth of the nic.
The difference is that I also have a PTP timeserver (timemachine's
TM2000A). The host PC uses linuxptp with hardware timestamping.

When I put the cameras on the same gig-e switch, it all plays nice and I
get satisfying offsets (sub us).

To put the cameras on their own nic, I must also put them on their own
subnets, so I would need to route ptp traffic back'n'forth. Is that
possible?

Should I rather synch the cameras with my (synched) PC clock with, e.g.
ptp4l -i if_cam0 -i if_cam1 -m -S

(I noticed you can't use hardware timestamping with multiple interface for
reasons that are probably obvious to you guys)

If so, I may have not tried hard enough, but I could not get satisfying
results with that methods (I have a litle setup that trigs cameras, and the
returned timestamps were 10-100 ms appart)


Thank you very much

Maxime
