gpsd project has been using PPS over USB 1.1 for over a year. Typical
accuracy and repeatability in the range of +/- 1 milliSec. This is much
better than you can get using simple ntp over gigabit ethernet to an
adjacent stratum 1 server.

Sure PPS over a local UART is 10 to 100 times better, but often PPS
over USB is your best second choice. As serial ports become extinct
it may become your best choice.
