I have a question that I've never seen answered.  With all the
discussions of sysplex timers and now SNTP lately, I don't understand
one thing about SNTP.  When you go out on the internet to a trusted
time source, how do you account for the time between the time source
getting the request, and the correct time coming back to your machine?
I know there is latency there.  Depending on traffic, the time over
the network can vary.  How is that accounted for in setting the exact
time?
