Hi Richard, >A brief visit to the link above suggests that many thousands of pages of >bureaucratic gibberish would have to be read in order to extract any >content meaningful to the common man!
There aren't thousands of pages, but it is steeped in legalese. Bottom line is that the US DOJ is petitioning the FCC for a mandate to institute a time-stamp "accuracy" of 200 milliseconds for all network operators and voice (including VoIP) providers - likely substantially relying on NTP. Almost all other countries have similar requirements on the order of one second, which will likely be reviewed through global standards bodies. >Was there some point you were trying to make? The following questions seem applicable: 1) Are there timestamp implementations/specifications that capture "NTP-friendly" values like offset and jitter? 2) Are there recent surveys that indicate the extent of NTP deployment across network infrastructures? 3) Are there any recent surveys/crawls that indicate the state of clock accuracies across infrastructures? Back in the 80s and 90s, there appear to have been several done. Is there anything recent? thanks in advance, tony _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
