Actually i was not talking about Win32 implementations. I remember that I had to implement these rules for an embedded telecom equipment where the calendar time was used for timestamping of SNMP traps/events as well as for Performance Monitoring management. Obviously in that case we did not have any requirements for the clock stratum/precision. Now I wonder wether this behavour was invented by our system engineers or it is a widely used/standard behavoir for that class of equipment. > > Is this behavior standard/recommended?
