There are two “time” fields in the standard tcp/ip header. The ttl field is incremented at each hop the packet traverses and is valued from 0 to 255 (8 bits). The other time field is used in the syn/ack exchange.
There is a variable length “options” field which can be used for all sorts of things including time stamps.
Can you point me to an RFC that standardizes that time stamping?
