    Why is there no mention of PTP here? If you want accurate time synchronisation in a network just use the correct tool, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol Linux P…

    How big is your CPU. I develop on Microsemi and the PolarFire range should do it. 12G transcievers and a decent amount of logic. At about €200+. And considering Microsemi are usual…
