I was thinking of PTP over DeviceNET (which, in turn, is over CAN).
This is specified in Annex G of IEEE 1588.

The linuxptp stack has modular design and could one day support
DeviceNET. It would be much easier for linuxptp if CAN interfaces
support hardware time stamping in the same way as other network
interfaces.

Thanks,
