If you don't synchronize often enough. From page 10 of the paper in question: --- "As the horizontal line in Table 3 indicates, we divide our experiments into two sets. In the first set, our experiments last for three hours and exchange one TCP packet every minute (we do this by performing a sleep(60) on host1). For the second set of experiments, the connections last for 30 minutes, and a packet is exchanged at random intervals between 0 and 2 seconds, as determined by a usleep on host1. With few exceptions, the packets from laptop are all ACKs with no data." --- The clock skew estimates are roughly the same. And I always found that synching one time a day would be enough, well... bye, Adam. _______________________________________________ chat mailing list chat@freenetproject.org Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
