Only when calculating the timestamping corrections. If you have 938ns
over 3m cable, that should be about 923ns over 0m cable.

Most accurate should be a scope with Ethernet analyzer. You could also
try to find a calibrated GM, but you would have to trust the vendor
they did it right. Few hours worth of data should be enough. Note that
the timestamping errors may depend on the network load and
configuration of the NIC, so make sure your testing environment is
similar to the production environment.
