Jouni,

Subject: fractional nanoseconds

Folks,

We have already had some discussion on this topic earlier but.. what is your
opinion on having fractional nanosecond accuracy in the time stamping (e.g.
when sending a timestamp in the RoE header)? If we follow what 1588 did for
the correction field that would mean 16 additional bits, which may or may
not be significant overhead wise.

Comments & opinions?
