That wouldn't be a very good clock discipline if it wasn't able to keep the clock error significantly below the jitter in these ideal conditions. In a simulation with 500us exponentionally distributed jitter and clock wander insignificant to the PLL time constant, the RMS time error is about 40 us for the standard PLL and 80 us for the Linux PLL. The 99th percentiles are about 100 us and 200 us respectively. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
