Hello people,

We've been using ptp4l (1.6) here to synchronize a Xilinx MicroBlaze (soft 
core) processor to a PTP master and have had some excellent results; once we 
have a stable lock on the master, the maximum time jitter is only about 20 
nanoseconds. And that was with only a simple and cheap 1 Gb switch.
Last week, we've upgraded the RTL of the board to use a 10 Gb MAC and found 
that it introduced a fair amount of jitter on the PPS of the system compared 
with 1Gb.
We believe this could be mitigated by introducing a second, "slower", set of PI 
parameters that would kick in when your locking distance becomes within a 
certain amount of ns (say about 70 ns, but should be configurable).

This would require either an update to the current PI servo or the introduction 
of a new, adaptive PI(D) servo.

I'm capable enough to write the code myself (whether my manager allows me to 
spend the time for it is another matter) but Richard suggested I post this to 
the list first to get some additional input.

Regards,

Nico.
