For send timestamp, the final byte leaving > the host is usually more interesting. TX Timestamping the last packet of a datagram is something that would work poorly for our application. We need to measure the time it takes for the first bit that is sent until the first bit of the last packet is received. Timestaming the last packet of a burst seems somewhat random to me and would not be useful. Essentially we would be timestamping a random byte in a UDP GSO buffer. I believe there is a precedence for timestamping the first packet. With IPv4 packets, the first packet is timestamped and the remaining fragments are not.
