Back in 2015, Van Jacobson suggested to use usec resolution in TCP TS values.
This has been implemented in our private kernels.
Goals were :
1) better observability of delays in networking stacks.
2) better disambiguation of events based on TSval/ecr values.
3) building block for congestion control modules needing usec resolution.
Back then we implemented a schem based on private SYN options
to negotiate the feature.
For upstream submission, we chose to use a route attribute,
because this feature is probably going to be used in private
networks [1] [2].
ip route add 10/8 ... features tcp_usec_ts
Note that RFC 7323 recommends a
"timestamp clock frequency in the range 1 ms to 1 sec per tick.",
but also mentions
"the maximum acceptable clock frequency is one tick every 59 ns."
[1] Unfortunately RFC 7323 5.5 (Outdated Timestamps) suggests
to invalidate TS.Recent values after a flow was idle for more
than 24 days. This is the part making usec_ts a problem
for peers following this recommendation for long living
idle flows.
[2] Attempts to standardize usec ts went nowhere:
