If I remember correct it is useful then adjusting internal clock over Ethernet network with high accuracy. Pretty sure it may be used in real time networks to keap devices synchronized and may be used distributed so it could be known all devices get the same idea about order things are done. Might be useful in Linuxcnc but do not think it add to much in most configurations. Hardware generated time triggered send would however most certainly be nice.
