The SNTP spec doesn't say anything about sending multiple requests as far as I can see. The program called "sntp" in the reference implementation distribution might do something like that, it was a while since I looked at it, but it sounds like a really stupid thing to do - if you send multiple requests, you should of course give all the replies at least a chance to arrive, since you will then have a much better basis for determining the actual time. --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
