Shir asked:
I’m trying to understand few things about gPTP (IEEE 802.1AS). I am using the open source implementation by AVnu (https://github.com/AVnu/gptp).
I looking on the packets using Wireshark, and they are parsed as PTPv2 packets.
Is there any protocol difference between the packets themselves that can be used to understand whether a certain traffic is gPTP or normal PTP? I know that gPTP only extends PTP, but I thought there would be a detectable difference.
Thanks
My answer:
gPTP is a profile of PTPv2; it implements some additional features.
Wireshark should be able to decode everything which may be of interest to you. If it does not, then you can file an enhancement request.
