Yes, that is exactly what I meant by remove the temperature issue that means using a clock derived from a laboratory standard like GPS disciplined OCXO or a rubidium oscillator. Once you do this the next bottle next is the uncertainty in the interrupt latency and the granularity of the clock

I've had good luck with TI's CDC913/925/937/949 programmable PLLs. (The middle digit is the number of PLLs, and the last digit is the number of outputs.) I haven't tested them for phase noise, but for an NTP application all you need is long-term phase lock. They're fractional-N PLLs, so you can

Hi 1588 compatible network cards are capable of time stamping everything that goes in and out. They are pretty common these days both as stand alone cards and as peripherals on MCU's. There's no real need to do hardware, just come up with drivers (and all the other software goop) to make them

If you look at PHK's code in FreeBSD this is what is done. The PPS signal gates the timer, so no interrupt is involved in the time stamp precision. But yes, it would be interesting to do something on a FPGA. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to get to anything like that myself in this lifetime.

Network time stamping is a different issue. You are thinking of time transfer over a network. What the above is about is capture the pulse per second from a GPS. We actually do NOT want to time stamp the PPS. We want to capture the computer's internal clock so that it can be compared to the
