> rick jones Rick, that's very interesting, but I suspect NTP needs to cope with whatever network you throw at it. Accuracy and stability will depends very much on network conditions... NTP algorithms may have to be re-engineered every so often in order to take into account the latest fashion in network design as nobody provides networks to suit time synchronisation requirements (unless you believe IEEE 1588!).
