Lets say we have pc <> switch <> lots of network boards for a single mic PC could broadcast the clock to all micboards and the would hopefully arrive without noticeable skew or jitter. And the micboards could answer with that timestamp and the converted value. In this case the PC requests each sample one at a time from all micboards. Would that be good scheme? A simple ping here, has a rund trip time of 0.25 to 0.8 ms depending on end equipment.
