Especially given that there isn't necessarily a guarantee that the time stamps 
reflect the exact arrival time of the first bit - or the last bit - of the 
packet at the receiver's network adapter, or that it reflects *anything* other 
than the time when the hardware, software, or firmware that timestamps the 
packet first sees the packet (which could be at some point in the host 
networking stack).
