Latency of what? What is a publisher and subscriber. In my definition of those words the latency would be weeks or months and ntp would hardly be needed but clearly you have a different definition. IF ntp is installed on every node, then you can assume that the clocks on each machine are as accurately as possibly synced to UTC. That does not however take into account any network asymmetries. For that, put a gps clock on each computer. > > Thanks _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
