An ordinary clock in PTP is a device with a single PTP port. It is either the source of time (grandmaster) or an endpoint receiving the time (slave), but it does not pass the time on to other devices.

By contrast, boundary and transparent clocks have multiple ports and distribute the time further into the network.
