Best way to precisely measure latency on a point-to-point link

My network has Cisco/Arista switches, and I try to find the best way to precisely measure latency on the point-to-point links. Ping from/to the corresponding interfaces doesn't give accurate results - i measure about 2ms more latency. This is because any pings sourced from/ destined to the switch is handled by control plane and such packets are aggressively policed in control-plane. Any tips and advices will be greatly appreciated.
