Q: 

How to get PTP time from a networked time source?

I've been tasked with syncing a time critical process for logging data from a PLC with a PTP (Precision Time Protocol, IEEE 1588) time source.

A quick look at the available libraries all turn up nothing but IVI-C and IVI-COM based implementations.

Would it be better to roll my own managed library for reading time from a PTP time source, or bite the bullet and go back to a IVI-COM library that is designed for LabVIEW?

Maybe there is a managed library that supports PTP that I missed?
