PTP Limitations

NICs using the Intel ICE NIC driver may report the following in the ptp4l logs, which might coincide with a |PTP| port switching to FAULTY` before re-initializing.

ptp4l[80330.489]: timed out while polling for tx timestamp
ptp4l[80330.489]: increasing tx_timestamp_timeout may correct this issue, but it is likely caused by a driver bug

This is due to a limitation of the Intel ICE driver. The recommended workaround is to set the tx_timestamp_timeout parameter to 700 (ms) in the ptp4l config.
