This seems really wrong to me, and much too hard-coded...

What if I want to forward the PTP frames to be forwarded like a normal non-aware
PTP switch?

What if do not want this on all ports?

If you do not have an application behind this implementing a boundary or
transparent clock, then you are breaking PTP on the network.
