I would like a way to enable timestamping universally. I like seeing/collecting the measured RTTs on the monitoring tools, and one day hope to improve the RTT metric system to work on normal (well, fq_codeled) paths. The cost of getting and sending the timestamp is trivial. > I'll be grateful for testing.
