NTP - Hardware Time Stamping

The ability to take advantage of hardware time stamps by moving them to the next interaction, that's not a thing you had to invent. When NTP was designed, I don't think there's any devices that did hardware time stamping. The major reason is that the GPS appliances will hardware time stamp their PTP because they have dedicated cards for it, but they don't hardware time stamp Their NTP. So the quality of time that you're getting off of the GPS is if you're talking NTP to them,. Like if you just remove the time servers and you have the clients talk directly to the GPS appliances, for example, it's just going to be a lot lower quality.
