             Summary: Modify pn_transport_tick to explicitly use a monotonic 
clock, not wall clock time
                 Key: PROTON-985
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-985
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-c
    Affects Versions: 0.10
            Reporter: Ken Giusti
            Assignee: Ken Giusti
             Fix For: 0.11


The timestamp argument to pn_transport_tick is a pn_timestamp_t.  
pn_timestamp_t implies real time (wall clock) in that it's expressed as a time 
value based on epoch.

As seen in QPID-6698, using a real time value for that argument can lead to 
problems if the real time is adjusted (eg.  timezone, daylight savings, drift).

Instead, pn_transport_tick should be passed a monotonic clock source - one that 
does not reflect changes in real time.

All documentation and examples should be updated accordingly.
