Part of the requirement, is that the dependencies on the underlying O/S should be minimized. If an FPGA can handle everything, then this is ideal. Currently the FPGA will split incoming packets into streams with one stream per thread. Why can't your FPGA do the entire NTP processing, for all

Ulf Samuelsson wrote: Instead the ntp code adds a delay to the incoming packet timestamp, and the FPGA H/W sends out the packet at the correct time. OK, this still means that the host CPU must be involved in every packet. Yes, in the current implementation. Line speed is 10M+
