Hi Richard/Miroslav, Hope you are doing good. As mentioned, PTP switchover from one NIC port to another is not seamless when ports belong to different NICs with different hardware clocks.
I am looking to utilize PTP for very time sensitive use cases like 5G wireless, stock markets, etc. which desire High Availability and redundancy at NIC port level while utilizing PTP. This is going to be a significant use case if we would like to move to open sourced environment and LinuxPTP is going to have significant role to play to achieve this aspect. Can someone help me with getting this functionality of seamless switchover by synchronizing Active Port PHC with PTP GM and then synchronizing system clock and standby PHCs with active PHC? PS: I am not from development background so it will be difficult to develop this functionality from my end. So need community help to get this functionality.
