Multiple RAVENNA devices - PTP Priorities considerations.

According to IEEE1588-2008, the PTP Master can be elected via its priority value.

To access Merging devices PTP settings, open the device advanced pages > PTP Tab.

PTP Priority value :
1 is the highest priority, 255 the lowest one.
Merging devices are by default using Priority 127 when set as PTP Master and 255 when PTP slave

PTP Domain : allow to define a specific PTP domain, usually when several PTP masters are required in the same network (default value for Merging devices and programs is 0).
Supported since :
MassCore : Pyramix V11.1.5 / Ovation 7.1.5
Ravenna ASIO : V12
Merging Audio Device : V1.0
ALSA : V1.0
CoreAudio / Virtual Audio Device : 2.0.37746
Horus - Hapi : firmware v 3.9.2
To modify the PTP setting, you must first tick the "Manual" checkbox.
Priority 1 is the main priority value.
Priority 2 is only used if the other parameters do not allow to elect a PTP master.
Class - Delay Mech. - Announce - Sync : those values should NOT be modified
Slave only : forces the Merging device to always be PTP slave.

Example :

To set the PTP priorities on a network :
A: Main Master priority
B: Secondary Master priority (if Main Master device fails)
C: Other devices priority

Priorities should be set as A < B < C
C should probably be 128, but as some devices may no have a manual PTP priority, it could be even lower.
