In clknetsim, each clock frequency and each network connection can be configured to any combination of noises (uniform, normal, poisson or exponential distribution), waveforms (pulse, triangle, sine) and data stored in file (e.g. if you have measured the clock frequency with a reference clock). If you can create a clknetsim expression (as described in README) which you think describes a real world clock, I'll be happy to rerun the simulations. >From what I've seen so far, the ratio between jitter in network delay and clock frequency is by the most important factor, the character of the noise doesn't seem to matter much. So, during day you only move to left and right on the x-axis in the plots I have posted, as the ratio changes. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
