    Discussion with Emmanuel Tychon and Ruediger Volk.
      It's probably not possible to use IP options and work around the
      problem that causes routers to use a different process queue.
      The socket 'hack' will be needed.

    Comments based on questions from audience:

      * Unsynchronized clocks are recognized by setting a 10%
        threshold, this assumes symmetric routing.

        material.

      *  No support for IPv6, no ETA for IPv6.
