   A value "P" means the offload feature is not supported by vector path.
   If any not supported features are used, idpf vector PMD is disabled

+Time Synchronisation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The system operator can run a PTP (Precision Time Protocol) client application
+to synchronise the time on the network card in ACC
+(and optionally the time on the system) to the PTP master.
+
+IDPF PMD supports PTP client applications that use the DPDK IEEE 1588 API
+to communicate with the PTP master clock.
+Note that PTP client application needs to run on PF in ACC
+and add the ``--force-max-simd-bitwidth=64`` startup parameter to disable vector mode.
