I think you are misreading the RF C. I can't find any place that uses the word "target". Here is the only section that uses "few tens of milliseconds" With NTPv4, servers and clients are precise within a few tens of milliseconds with poll intervals up to 36 hours. The previous sentence says "fast LANs". There is nothing in that area that discusses WANs and all the ways they can screwup. There is probably an unstated assumption of well-cared-for systems. The goal of the pool is to get something working well enough without the human effort required for that care. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
