I think this has to do with making it work with AVB.

I think it would take a pretty careful build hardware wise in a Linux pc 
to send receive AVB on the network card... maybe a NIC with a built in PTP 
server (and media clock). Might be able to fake it without a special NIC 
at some of the higher latencies (1ms or more).
