It would seem that at least one NIC has the ability to allow one to
"schedule" the time at which a packet will be transmitted.  This is
called "launch time support."  Someone in Linux-land has started
asking about the prospect of enabling support of that in the stack,
with his stated use case being to improve the jitter of NTP-based
timekeeping.
