Summary
Supported incoming packets for 500 and 700 series adapters
Description
After reading datasheets, I am still unsure if these network cards provide hardware timestamps for all incoming packets.
I need these timestamps to be accessible for software components.
Resolution
- Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapters X540 and X710:
- Do not support time-stamping for all RX (receive) packets.
- Support only the PTP (Precision Time Protocol) packets.
- Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X550 supports the time-stamping of all incoming packets.
