A few of my recent systems have come with a built-in combo BMC on the motherboard NICs. I haven't seen this before, is it a new trend? I'm imagining they put in a switch in there with the NICs? How does this even work?

I'm doing a few timing sensitive projects involving hardware timestamping in the NICs. Does this mess with say timing variability? I've disabled the BMCs out of paranoia but I don't know the topology inside.
