-The existing interfaces for getting network packages time stamped are:
+
+1. Control Interfaces
+
+The interfaces for receiving network packages timestamps are:
 
 * SO_TIMESTAMP
-  Generate time stamp for each incoming packet using the (not necessarily
-  monotonous!) system time. Result is returned via recv_msg() in a
-  control message as timeval (usec resolution).
+  Generates a timestamp for each incoming packet in (not necessarily
+  monotonic) system time. Reports the timestamp via recvmsg() in a
+  control message as struct timeval (usec resolution).
 
 * SO_TIMESTAMPNS
-  Same time stamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but returns result as
-  timespec (nsec resolution).
+  Same timestamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but reports the
+  timestamp as struct timespec (nsec resolution).
 
 * IP_MULTICAST_LOOP + SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]
-  Only for multicasts: approximate send time stamp by receiving the looped
-  packet and using its receive time stamp.
+  Only for multicast:approximate transmit timestamp obtained by
+  reading the looped packet receive timestamp.
 
-The following interface complements the existing ones: receive time
-stamps can be generated and returned for arbitrary packets and much
-closer to the point where the packet is really sent. Time stamps can
-be generated in software (as before) or in hardware (if the hardware
-has such a feature).
+* SO_TIMESTAMPING
+  Generates timestamps on reception, transmission or both. Supports
+  multiple timestamp sources, including hardware. Supports generating
+  timestamps for stream sockets.
 
-SO_TIMESTAMPING:
 
-Instructs the socket layer which kind of information should be collected
-and/or reported.  The parameter is an integer with some of the following
-bits set. Setting other bits is an error and doesn't change the current
-state.
+1.1 SO_TIMESTAMP:
 
-Four of the bits are requests to the stack to try to generate
-timestamps.  Any combination of them is valid.
+This socket option enables timestamping of datagrams on the reception
+path. Because the destination socket, if any, is not known early in
+the network stack, the feature has to be enabled for all packets. The
+same is true for all early receive timestamp options.
 
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE:  try to obtain send time stamps in hardware
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE:  try to obtain send time stamps in software
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE:  try to obtain receive time stamps in hardware
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE:  try to obtain receive time stamps in software
+For interface details, see `man 7 socket`.
+
+
+1.2 SO_TIMESTAMPNS:
+
+This option is identical to SO_TIMESTAMP except for the returned data type.
+Its struct timespec allows for higher resolution (ns) timestamps than the
+timeval of SO_TIMESTAMP (ms).
+
+
+1.3 SO_TIMESTAMPING:
+
+Supports multiple types of timestamp requests. As a result, this
+socket option takes a bitmap of flags, not a boolean. In
+
+  err = setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMPING, (void *) val, &val);
+
+val is an integer with any of the following bits set. Setting other
+bit returns EINVAL and does not change the current state.
 
-The other three bits control which timestamps will be reported in a
-generated control message.  If none of these bits are set or if none of
-the set bits correspond to data that is available, then the control
-message will not be generated:
 
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE:     report systime if available
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE: report hwtimetrans if available (deprecated)
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE: report hwtimeraw if available
+1.3.1 Timestamp Generation
 
-It is worth noting that timestamps may be collected for reasons other
-than being requested by a particular socket with
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_[TR]X_(HARD|SOFT)WARE.  For example, most drivers that
-can generate hardware receive timestamps ignore
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE.  It is still a good idea to set that flag
-in case future drivers pay attention.
+Some bits are requests to the stack to try to generate timestamps. Any
+combination of them is valid. Changes to these bits apply to newly
+created packets, not to packets already in the stack. As a result, it
+is possible to selectively request timestamps for a subset of packets
+(e.g., for sampling) by embedding an send() call within two setsockopt
+calls, one to enable timestamp generation and one to disable it.
+Timestamps may also be generated for reasons other than being
+requested by a particular socket, such as when receive timestamping is
+enabled system wide, as explained earlier.
 
-If timestamps are reported, they will appear in a control message with
-cmsg_level==SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type==SO_TIMESTAMPING, and a payload like
-this:
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE:
+  Request rx timestamps generated by the network adapter.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE:
+  Request rx timestamps when data enters the kernel. These timestamps
+  are generated just after a device driver hands a packet to the
+  kernel receive stack.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE:
+  Request tx timestamps generated by the network adapter.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE:
+  Request tx timestamps when data leaves the kernel. These timestamps
+  are generated in the device driver as close as possible, but always
+  prior to, passing the packet to the network interface. Hence, they
+  require driver support and may not be available for all devices.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED:
+  Request tx timestamps prior to entering the packet scheduler. Kernel
+  transmit latency is, if long, often dominated by queuing delay. The
+  difference between this timestamp and one taken at
+  SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE will expose this latency independent
+  of protocol processing. The latency incurred in protocol
+  processing, if any, can be computed by subtracting a userspace
+  timestamp taken immediately before send() from this timestamp. On
+  machines with virtual devices where a transmitted packet travels
+  through multiple devices and, hence, multiple packet schedulers,
+  a timestamp is generated at each layer. This allows for fine
+  grained measurement of queuing delay.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK:
+  Request tx timestamps when all data in the send buffer has been
+  acknowledged. This only makes sense for reliable protocols. It is
+  currently only implemented for TCP. For that protocol, it may
+  over-report measurement, because the timestamp is generated when all
+  data up to and including the buffer at send() was acknowledged: the
+  cumulative acknowledgment. The mechanism ignores SACK and FACK.
+
+
+1.3.2 Timestamp Reporting
+
+The other three bits control which timestamps will be reported in a
+generated control message. Changes to the bits take immediate
+effect at the timestamp reporting locations in the stack. Timestamps
+are only reported for packets that also have the relevant timestamp
+generation request set.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE:
+  Report any software timestamps when available.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE:
+  This option is deprecated and ignored.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE:
+  Report hardware timestamps as generated by
+  SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE when available.
+
+
+1.3.3 Timestamp Options
+
+The interface supports one option
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID:
+
+  Generate a unique identifier along with each packet. A process can
+  have multiple concurrent timestamping requests outstanding. Packets
+  can be reordered in the transmit path, for instance in the packet
+  scheduler. In that case timestamps will be queued onto the error
+  queue out of order from the original send() calls. This option
+  embeds a counter that is incremented at send() time, to order
+  timestamps within a flow.
+
+  This option is implemented only for transmit timestamps. There, the
+  timestamp is always looped along with a struct sock_extended_err.
+  The option modifies field ee_info to pass an id that is unique
+  among all possibly concurrently outstanding timestamp requests for
+  that socket. In practice, it is a monotonically increasing u32
+  (that wraps).
+
+  In datagram sockets, the counter increments on each send call. In
+  stream sockets, it increments with every byte.
+
+
+1.4 Bytestream Timestamps
+
+The SO_TIMESTAMPING interface supports timestamping of bytes in a
+bytestream. Each request is interpreted as a request for when the
+entire contents of the buffer has passed a timestamping point. That
+is, for streams option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE will record
+when all bytes have reached the device driver, regardless of how
+many packets the data has been converted into.
+
+In general, bytestreams have no natural delimiters and therefore
+correlating a timestamp with data is non-trivial. A range of bytes
+may be split across segments, any segments may be merged (possibly
+coalescing sections of previously segmented buffers associated with
+independent send() calls). Segments can be reordered and the same
+byte range can coexist in multiple segments for protocols that
+implement retransmissions.
+
+It is essential that all timestamps implement the same semantics,
+regardless of these possible transformations, as otherwise they are
+incomparable. Handling "rare" corner cases differently from the
+simple case (a 1:1 mapping from buffer to skb) is insufficient
+because performance debugging often needs to focus on such outliers.
+
+In practice, timestamps can be correlated with segments of a
+bytestream consistently, if both semantics of the timestamp and the
+timing of measurement are chosen correctly. This challenge is no
+different from deciding on a strategy for IP fragmentation. There, the
+definition is that only the first fragment is timestamped. For
+bytestreams, we chose that a timestamp is generated only when all
+bytes have passed a point. SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK as defined is easy to
+implement and reason about. An implementation that has to take into
+account SACK would be more complex due to possible transmission holes
+and out of order arrival.
+
+On the host, TCP can also break the simple 1:1 mapping from buffer to
+skbuff as a result of Nagle, cork, autocork, segmentation and GSO. The
+implementation ensures correctness in all cases by tracking the
+individual last byte passed to send(), even if it is no longer the
+last byte after an skbuff extend or merge operation. It stores the
+relevant sequence number in skb_shinfo(skb)->tskey. Because an skbuff
+has only one such field, only one timestamp can be generated.
+
+In rare cases, a timestamp request can be missed if two requests are
+collapsed onto the same skb. A process can detect this situation by
+enabling SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID and comparing the byte offset at
+send time with the value returned for each timestamp. It can prevent
+the situation by always flushing the TCP stack in between requests,
+for instance by enabling TCP_NODELAY and disabling TCP_CORK and
+autocork.
+
+These precautions ensure that the timestamp is generated only when all
+bytes have passed a timestamp point, assuming that the network stack
+itself does not reorder the segments. The stack indeed tries to avoid
+reordering. The one exception is under administrator control: it is
+possible to construct a packet scheduler configuration that delays
+segments from the same stream differently. Such a setup would be
+unusual.
+
+
+2 Data Interfaces
+
+Timestamps are read using the ancillary data feature of recvmsg().
+See `man 3 cmsg` for details of this interface. The socket manual
+page (`man 7 socket`) describes how timestamps generated with
+SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMESTAMPNS records can be retrieved.
+
+
+2.1 SCM_TIMESTAMPING records
+
+These timestamps are returned in a control message with cmsg_level
+SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type SCM_TIMESTAMPING, and payload of type
 
 struct scm_timestamping {
-	struct timespec systime;
-	struct timespec hwtimetrans;
-	struct timespec hwtimeraw;
+	struct timespec ts[3];
 };
 
-recvmsg() can be used to get this control message for regular incoming
-packets. For send time stamps the outgoing packet is looped back to
-the socket's error queue with the send time stamp(s) attached. It can
-be received with recvmsg(flags=MSG_ERRQUEUE). The call returns the
-original outgoing packet data including all headers preprended down to
-and including the link layer, the scm_timestamping control message and
-a sock_extended_err control message with ee_errno==ENOMSG and
-ee_origin==SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING. A socket with such a pending
-bounced packet is ready for reading as far as select() is concerned.
-If the outgoing packet has to be fragmented, then only the first
-fragment is time stamped and returned to the sending socket.
-
-All three values correspond to the same event in time, but were
-generated in different ways. Each of these values may be empty (= all
-zero), in which case no such value was available. If the application
-is not interested in some of these values, they can be left blank to
-avoid the potential overhead of calculating them.
-
-systime is the value of the system time at that moment. This
-corresponds to the value also returned via SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]. If the
-time stamp was generated by hardware, then this field is
-empty. Otherwise it is filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is
-set.
-
-hwtimeraw is the original hardware time stamp. Filled in if
-SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE is set. No assumptions about its
-relation to system time should be made.
-
-hwtimetrans is always zero. This field is deprecated. It used to hold
-hw timestamps converted to system time. Instead, expose the hardware
-clock device on the NIC directly as a HW PTP clock source, to allow
-time conversion in userspace and optionally synchronize system time
-with a userspace PTP stack such as linuxptp. For the PTP clock API,
-see Documentation/ptp/ptp.txt.
-
-
-SIOCSHWTSTAMP, SIOCGHWTSTAMP:
+The structure can return up to three timestamps. This is a legacy
+feature. Only one field is non-zero at any time. Most timestamps
+are passed in ts[0]. Hardware timestamps are passed in ts[2].
+
+ts[1] used to hold hardware timestamps converted to system time.
+Instead, expose the hardware clock device on the NIC directly as
+a HW PTP clock source, to allow time conversion in userspace and
+optionally synchronize system time with a userspace PTP stack such
+as linuxptp. For the PTP clock API, see Documentation/ptp/ptp.txt.
+
+2.1.1 Transmit timestamps with MSG_ERRQUEUE
+
+For transmit timestamps the outgoing packet is looped back to the
+socket's error queue with the send timestamp(s) attached. A process
+receives the timestamps by calling recvmsg() with flag MSG_ERRQUEUE
+set and with a msg_control buffer sufficiently large to receive the
+relevant metadata structures. The recvmsg call returns the original
+outgoing data packet with two ancillary messages attached.
+
+A message of cm_level SOL_IP(V6) and cm_type IP(V6)_RECVERR
+embeds a struct sock_extended_err. This defines the error type. For
+timestamps, the ee_errno field is ENOMSG. The other ancillary message
+will have cm_level SOL_SOCKET and cm_type SCM_TIMESTAMPING. This
+embeds the struct scm_timestamping.
+
+
+2.1.1.2 Timestamp types
+
+The semantics of the three struct timespec are defined by field
+ee_info in the extended error structure. It contains a value of
+type SCM_TSTAMP_* to define the actual timestamp passed in
+scm_timestamping.
+
+The SCM_TSTAMP_* types are 1:1 matches to the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_*
+control fields discussed previously, with one exception. For legacy
+reasons, SCM_TSTAMP_SND is equal to zero and can be set for both
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE. It
+is the first if ts[2] is non-zero, the second otherwise, in which
+case the timestamp is stored in ts[0].
+
+
+2.1.1.3 Fragmentation
+
+Fragmentation of outgoing datagrams is rare, but is possible, e.g., by
+explicitly disabling PMTU discovery. If an outgoing packet is fragmented,
+then only the first fragment is timestamped and returned to the sending
+socket.
+
+
+2.1.1.4 Packet Payload
+
+The calling application is often not interested in receiving the whole
+packet payload that it passed to the stack originally: the socket
+error queue mechanism is just a method to piggyback the timestamp on.
+In this case, the application can choose to read datagrams with a
+smaller buffer, possibly even of length 0. The payload is truncated
+accordingly. Until the process calls recvmsg() on the error queue,
+however, the full packet is queued, taking up budget from SO_RCVBUF.
+
+
+2.1.1.5 Blocking Read
+
+Reading from the error queue is always a non-blocking operation. To
+block waiting on a timestamp, use poll or select. poll() will return
+POLLERR in pollfd.revents if any data is ready on the error queue.
+There is no need to pass this flag in pollfd.events. This flag is
+ignored on request. See also `man 2 poll`.
+
+
+2.1.2 Receive timestamps
+
+On reception, there is no reason to read from the socket error queue.
+The SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data is sent along with the packet data
+on a normal recvmsg(). Since this is not a socket error, it is not
+accompanied by a message SOL_IP(V6)/IP(V6)_RECVERROR. In this case,
+the meaning of the three fields in struct scm_timestamping is
+implicitly defined. ts[0] holds a software timestamp if set, ts[1]
+is again deprecated and ts[2] holds a hardware timestamp if set.
+
