My formulation is a bit unfortunate. I mean that ethernet does NOT have
a global absolute time reference. And word clock is not a time
reference. It's a 'rate' reference, which does not contain absolute time
information. What you need to output signals on different devices with
sample accurate phase is an absolute time reference. Which ethernet does
not have.
