Can someone clarify for me whether "offset" in the NTP world, is
talking about:

(a) The difference in time between the incorrect time on a local
server, and the correct time on a correct NTP server.
or
(b) The time delay (caused by latency etc) to receive the correct time
from an NTP server. Ie By the time the local server receives the
"correct time", this "correct time" value is now slightly old.

Remembering that eventlog regularly says "Time set (offset > .5
second)"
and initially (once) said "Time service corrected the clock error by 63
seconds".

Thanks
Nick
