OK, here is the actual question. Do you think it is OK to consider a  pulse

about that 3 ns, there is about 3 ns of delay added by the  output

If you want to earn your time-nut merit badge, you have to measure it.

The Ethernet on the Raspberry Pi is on the USB bus.  That adds about a 1/2 ms
of jitter.
Is it possible to modify the kernel so the USB is polled more often, and would that significantly reduce the jitter?



If you are using ntpd, there is a fudge factor that lets you correct for any
offset.  (and another one that lets you use the other edge, but I think the
Pi doesn't capture it)
