Thats a different point.

I dont care about rtt but TX completions. (usually much much lower than
rtt)

I can have a 4 usec delay from the moment a NIC submits a packet to the
wire and I get TX completion IRQ, free the packet.

Yet the pong reply can come 100 ms later.

It does not mean the 4 usec delay is a problem.
