I believe I have read the PHK has modified the ntpd PLL for use with
refclocks such as GPS and Cesium. I don't know PLL design from a hole

purpose. It's worth looking into!!
BTW, what hardware and O/S are you using for this project? Solaris
8/SPARC keeps time to a precision of one microsecond. I don't know of
any hardware/software that supports a higher precision but there may
well be some.
AFAIK, Sun was the first to implement nanosecond kernel time resolution,
it is definitely a standard part of all FreeBSD systems, and an absolute
requirement if you want sub-microsecond GPS/Cs performance.
Ulrich Windl have maintained a set of patches to Linux to get ns there
as well.

Terje,
Where does Solaris keep the nanoseconds?
The precision shows as "-21" or about 1 microsecond and, indeed, the
smallest difference between two consecutive calls to gettimeofday() is
one microsecond.
Is there some documented and supported way to access the nanosecond part
of the time?
