Yeh, I agree with you.

Yep but I have an equipment for specific use with RFC2030 implemented
because of a standard that I have follow that say it is mandatory SNTP -
RFC2030. My equipment ask for time every minute and frequence tolerance of
the crystal is less then 1ms/min. They are in a intranet with 2 switches
isolated so... my question was about the SNTP because some people said to me
that SNTP cannot garantee 1ms accuracy. Is it possible, in that described
cenario to no have 1ms of accuracy? I expect that a implementation
of RFC2030 made by a person at equipment X and the implementation of the
same RFC at the same equipment X BUT by another person could give me
different results??
