Abstract
A method for timestamping data packets from a network involves receiving a first data packet from the network, obtaining, from a clock, a timestamp indicating an arrival time of the first data packet, where a network interface controller (NIC) includes the clock, providing the timestamp and the first data packet to a client operatively connected to the NIC, computing a network property using the timestamp, selecting a network protocol based on the network property, and transmitting a second data packet via the NIC using the network protocol.
