I turn off the EEE in my switches.  EEE can cause me troubles.

spidey ~ # ethtool  --show-eee  eth0
EEE Settings for eth0:
        EEE status: enabled - inactive
        Tx LPI: 0 (us)
        Supported EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full 
                                   1000baseT/Full 
        Advertised EEE link modes:  100baseT/Full 
                                    1000baseT/Full 
        Link partner advertised EEE link modes:  Not reported

If you are looking for high performance over GigE just go directly to
PTP.  A big leap in performance over any NTP.
