gPTP bridges are when you specify "-i" more than once, similar to how
1588 boundary clocks are created in ptp4l. Linuxptp does not support
gPTP bridges; the time information needs to be relayed differently
compared to both a BC and a TC, and there is also a Follow_Up information
TLV which needs to be updated.

So I guess the answer is, you don't test gPTP bridging, ok.
