Hi, this really concerns me! An indicator of expecting time is important and I know about the error bounds, but I want to use a value(jitter) as an indicator of the expecting time relative offset. The jitter isn't introduced before NTPv4 and where I am doing my master thesis they are using NTPv3(RFC-1305).
Is it possible to use dispersion relative offset as an indicator of expecting time? My idea, peer.dispersion represents the maximum error in offset and maximum error of half the roundtrip delay. If dispersion is bigger than jitter, ie jitter is bounded by dispersion, then dispersion could be used as an indicator of expecting time relative offset. Any guidance in this is appreciated?
