All the caveats that were discussed in the context of the TICTOC draft apply here as well.

In particular, all packets of timing flows must follow the same path, thus ruling out LAG, ECMP, entropy labels, etc.
Protection switching must also be avoided, since undetected delay changes are more detrimental than not receiving timing packets and going into holdover.
