    pclock is a clock involved in the calculation
    of the link delay using Peer Delay Mechanism.
    This calculation is independent of whether a clock
    is a master/slave. There is delay requester, pclock_req,
    and, and delay responder, pclock_resp.
    The Grandmaster clock is the only one in charge of sending Sync messages
    and complete the synchronization. In case of BC, one
    port e.g. port 1 is a pclock connected to the upstream
    Grandmaster Clock, and the rest of ports, downstream, Grandmaster
    Clocks. In a TC, all the ports are just pclocks, who calculate
    the link delay and forward the sync and follow up msg till the slaves.
