Hi Alfredo:

I just want to describe my use case. I have a machine with 16 Intel 10G
interfaces, basically serving as a pcap recorder. I can record alot of
packets but I'm interested in having better timestamp resolution on the
packets, right now they are at millisecond and micro-second level. I was
wondering if hardware timestamping can be used for this scenario. The only
information I have thus far in addition to linux ptp (which i'm not sure
fits my use case) is this white paper about high resolution packet capture.

Much Thanks
