I don't think there is any new information here. You think NTP is throwing away good data. I don't agree with you. Lots of other folks don't agree with you. The algorithms are in place for very good reasons. Is there room for improvement? Certainly. And for that to happen there would have to be constructive dialog. I don't know if Ntimed's overall plan allows for the easy testing of different algorithms. If it doesn't, I'm game to see a rewrite of NTP that *does* allow this, and right now it's looking like it will take a bit of serious effort to either figure out how to get the current NTP simulator code working again, or a different level of effort to come up with new code that does this.
