"Offset" doesn't really give you this information. If the ntpd design is valid, "offset" is either a measure of the network performance, or that ntpd has not been running long enough to work out which part of the offset is a true clock error and which part measurement variation. If you know of a way of telling the difference between a true error and measurement uncertainty, before ntpd is able to do so, you need to submit your algorithm to the NTP community. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
