Check that ethtool provides information about packets timestamping capabilities and PHC device index.

Scenarios: X3-PTP013.

  1. Call ioctl (SIOCETHTOOL / ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO) for the IUT interface.

  2. Check the values set in ethtool_ts_info structure fields after ioctl() call:

    • Check whether PHC device index is specified in phc_index field.

    • Check whether tx_types field tells that both HWTSTAMP_TX_ON and HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF are supported.

    • Check whether tx_types field contains any additional flags.

    • Check whether rx_filter field tells that both HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE and HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL are supported.

    • Check whether rx_filter field contains any additional flags.

    • Check whether so_timestamping field contains flags for hardware timestamping capabilities.

    • Check whether so_timestamping field contains flags for software timestamping capabilities.
