Linux support for 802.1AS-Rev.

Linux support for 802.1AS-Rev.

[Praveen Bajantri]

Hello everyone,

I am new to Linux networking and had doubt related to support for
802.1AS-Rev. Please point me to appropriate forum/mailing list If this
is not a right place.

I know that Linux supports gPTP (802.1AS), As there are new clauses
added to gPTP to support new features such as one step time stamping,
I just wanted to know the Linux support for 802.1AS-Rev.

Does Linux support 802.1AS-Rev ? Is there any application which can be
used to test this feature ?

Thanks,
Praveen Bajantri

This list is for kernel related issues.  The mailing lists for the
user space gPTP stack are at:

Looking at

   http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1AS-rev.html

this standard hasn't even been published, and the drafts are locked
away for committee's eyes only.

So how on earth do you expect us to support it?

Thanks,
Richard
