This read-create Unsigned32 (0-255), defaulting to 128, sets the primary precedence value used in the best-master-clock algorithm when this device is acting as (or competing to be) master. An admin lowers this value to make the clock more likely to be selected as the PTP master, since lower priority1 values win in the standard BMC algorithm. For example, an admin sets this to 10 on the intended grandmaster clock so it's preferred over other candidates left at the default 128.
