The problem that I was trying to address is the inherent asymmetry in the network. If you had a way of get an approximate measure of the asymmetry you could adjust for it, but there is no easy way of deciding this unless you have another time source which does not have this asymmetry and use the difference between the two sources to apply an adjustment. I forget how you do that. Danny _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
