gemiller: Being the whole point of ntpd, to manage the kernel PLL, this should be obvious. No. The purpose of ntp is to maintain the correct system time. ntpd itself is a PLL. The purpose of the Kernel PLL is to do the same things with PPS pulses but do it better. It may have been import

gemiller I have a hard time believing a PLL running at user timer interrupt time can be anywhere as good as a kerenl PLL running at TICK intervals. There are two parts to this discussion. There is the PPS time stamp and the PLL. The PPS time stamp gives you the data to work with. The w
