What is the difference between other implementations ? #25

Open toravir opened 2 years ago

toravir commented 2 years ago

There is another repo - https://github.com/richardcochran/linuxptp - what is the difference between openil/linuxptp and the other one ? It is not clear to me.

Thanks!

This repository is an unofficial (doesn't get packaged with normal distributions, but with the Open Industrial Linux) fork which ATM contains some extra features like gPTP bridge support, and dynamic sync direction for ts2phc. There may be others, and the diff may grow larger or smaller as the code bases evolve. If you don't know that you need these features, you don't need them.
