The time synchronization accuracy is rounded to the next worse
accuracy, for example, if the accuracy is 2..3 ms, it is shown as 8 bits
(4 ms).

Grandmaster accuracy
Within a domain, grandmaster is the clock that is the ultimate source of time for clock
synchronization using the PTP protocol.
Grandmaster identity indicates the identity of the master clock.
