Guys,

Mercy me! I lied through my incisors. Upon review, the NTP simulator simulates the system interfaces to set, adjust and read the hardware system clock, so the actual hardware is not involved. It's been several years since I used the simulator and it has been updated since then.

Bill,

The ntpdsim simulator uses the real system clock, which is modeled as the Allan variance. However, the server clock is modeled as a random-walk process computed as the integral of a Gaussian process. The network is modeled as an exponential distribution, although provisions have been made to model transients in the form of step changes.

Real world NTP networks don't behave like that, and most of the things that annoy people relate to the real world behaviour. Real networks are subject to diurnal and near step changes in frequency.


? It seems you are discussing the behaviour of the clocks, not of the
network. (the network has no frequency). His simulator works with real
clocks which have exactly the behaviour you describe. Now it may be that
the network model is not the best ( random "long" delays in one way trip
time due to network overload).

Dr Mills modelling also has this problem.
