Hi Carolyn, Fair enough.
But HW timestamping on the ring buffer is a cool feature. Silicon and design time was put into implementing it, so it is a shame that it is not easy to use. Finding and deleting the #undef in the source code is likely to be beyond the capabilities of many non-technical users. I would suggest that as a minimum, a comment is added to the source explaining why IGB_PER_PKT_TIMESTAMP was undefined (and quantifying the performance penalty of defining it in. A note in the documentation would also be nice. Cheers, Amnon >>> > Thanks Amnon, yes that should help. Let me know if it does not.
