[j-nsp] ETH-DM packets hardware timestamping

Hi Folks,
 
Just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck with getting the MX-480 or MX-80 routers to timestamp the CFM Ethernet delay measurement packets in hardware. I have included the "hardware-assisted-timestamping" option under the oam protocol but after seeing the test results, it appears that the delay measurement packets are not getting timestamped in hardware since I am seeing the delay in milliseconds. 
 
I am running this test on the DPCE-R-Q and according to juniper documentation, it should work on this DPC. 
 
Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 
 
me @ router# show
ethernet {
connectivity-fault-management {
performance-monitoring {
hardware-assisted-timestamping;
}
traceoptions {
file oamtrace.txt size 2m files 2 world-readable;
flag all;
}
maintenance-domain md3 {
level 3;
name-format character-string;
maintenance-association ma3 {
short-name-format character-string;
continuity-check {
interval 1s;
}
mep 800 {
interface ge-2/0/0.3000;
direction up;
remote-mep 700;
}
}
}
}
}
 
Thanks- Ankur
