Hi Florian,

You means this patch does not help on your issue?
Need to understand more on the setup and behavior to tell.
Are ptp4l and XDP ZC Tx apps running on same queue or separate queue?
I suggest you to run " sudo hwstamp_ctl -i eth0 -r 1 " multiple times in the middle
to check the behavior.

Thanks & Regards
