Sure, but there is also "low latency" and "guaranteed latency", the
later is affected and hard to prove if you can`t bound eg. the IRQs to
a specific maximum.
Hmm, probably an issue though, as the RtNet Protocol wants to
synchronize clocks as well. We have synchronized clocks via a
dedicated PPS wire, so we wouldn`t need that.
Using PTP Hardware could probably fix that.

No prob.
