I am wondering what happens if we get to the point of sending the next request before we have received the transmit timestamp for the prior one. Given the speed of the units I’m testing with, it appears to be possible to have received the second response before the first transmit timestamp.

Are you saying it takes more than a second to receive the TX
timestamp? Can you confirm that with the patch I sent you earlier
which waits with poll()? An occasional long delay seems to be a
common problem reported with some HW.

When a TX timestamp of a packet is received after a new packet was
already sent, the timestamp will be ignored.

I did, but maybe my server is not fast enough.
