That seems to me to be an estimate of the local machine's clock frequency, evaluated over an excessively short period in relation to network timing jitter. 10ms/s would be 10,000 parts per million, which is much much higher than you would get even from a real false ticker, and could only really represent the result of jitter. On a heavily loaded connection, traffic variations can results in offsets varying by hundreds of milliseconds (relative to true time). _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
