Hm, T1 - T4 are defined in figure 14. Of course the .txt version of 1305
doesn't have figures, and trying to read the formulas is futile even if
you do understand the math. Try the PDF version, e.g. at
http://www.faqs.org/rfc/rfc1305.pdf (I guess the PostScript version can
also be found somewhere).

Incidentally, RFC 2030 (SNTP) has "textual" definitions of this basic
stuff.
