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.
