Ideally, the slave will use that value to set the delay request rate although some slave set this rate independently. The delay request rate is typically the same as the sync rate, but may be higher or lower. PRISM MPI and MPX Media Analysis Platform User Manual...
Page 249 For SMPTE mixed mode, the Announce, Sync, and Follow up messages are conﬁgured as Multicast, whereas the delay requests can be Multicast, Unicast, or Unicast without negotiation. To use this combination with a Tektronix SPG8000A master clock generator, set the master and slave to any of the modes: Multicast, Mixed, or Mixed without negotiation.

Conversely for a 1 Gb/s input and 100 Mb/s output, the entire packet is quickly read in at the faster rate, so then the output can start sooner, albeit at a lower rate. PRISM MPI and MPX Media Analysis Platform User Manual...
Page 251 The PTP system is incapable of removing this effect, so the best way to prevent this is to use high-quality cable with a minimum variation in the physical propagation delay. PRISM MPI and MPX Media Analysis Platform User Manual...
