Both software and hardware > timestamping can be used. Could you please include an example on how to use this in userspace? A proper place for this would be Documentation/net/ At the moment I cannot imagine how to use this and how to correlate the sent packet with the timestamp. That would also be a way to test your implementation and test any changes done later to it. This will avoid future bitrot. Many Thanks! Best Regards Ingo Oeser
