+ * This algorithm works by using the passed hardware timestamp to generate a
+ * diff relative to the last read of the nic clock. This diff can be positive or
+ * negative, as it is possible that we have read the clock more recently than
+ * the hardware has received this packet. To detect this, we use the high bit of
+ * the diff, and assume that the read is more recent if the high bit is set. In
+ * this case we invert the process.

+ * Note that this means if the time delta between packet reception and the last
