If my server is placed in PTP v2 enabled network which has grand master clock. And the switch is PTP aware.

The server is W2008R2 (soon to be W2012).

I also have PTP v2 software client.

How does the master clock messages are getting on with Windows Server?

Does it need special PTP-aware NIC or it will be treated as normal networking traffic and the software receives it through regular NIC no problem?
