Thank you very much,
so, if I read the doc correctly, since I want my CLOCK_REALTIME synched too
(by eth0 in my use case) I use
ptp4l -i eth0 -i eth1 -i eth2 --boundary_clock_jbod=1
phc2sys -a -r
... and all devices should use HW timestamping. I understand that I can not
use the -O -37 anymore, so how will I get UTC time on my CLOCK_REALTIME?
Can/should I force eth0 to be slaveOnly (this one is to be mastered by my
TimeServer on subnet 192,168..0.x), or should I let it it figure all this
out automatically?
Again, thanks a lot for your help.
