PMFJI here, but isn't NIST time available via NTP to the microsecond or better? ISTR they use an atomic clock to synchronize NIST, and the accuracy is quite high (or so I was led to believe).
z/OS systems in a sysplex must have synchronized TOD clocks. My understanding was that the precision of NTP was insufficient for this purpose I'm certainly no expert in this area, so I'll defer to IBM to explain the intricacies of STP when the time comes.
