But is it really so precise that the application can safely assume there are no errors due to asymmetric delays, etc? I think PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE should be supported only if the accuracy of the offset measured between the HW and system clock is not worse than the precision of the system clock (typically few tens of nanoseconds). It would be good to verify the accuracy of the offset when the host and guest clocks are synchronised to each other over PTP using two NICs with HW timestamping. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
