Ok, makes sense.
So the important bit here is to keep these two values as small as
possible and more importantly as "stable" as possible, yes?
This way, "jitter", be it network or dispersion, will be low, giving a
change to the daemon to keep the offset close to upstream.
And a good way to achieve this is to poll the server as much as you can
afford, plus keep the link as uncongested as possible.
Are the above steps to right direction?
Thank you for your time. :)

maximum amount. Thus it is not a good metric of uncertainty.
One can use the fluctuations in the time, but there may be biases in
that. Ie,
a good metric of the true uncertainty is hard.

Sounds like it basically the roundtrip-time/2 +max uncert in the

time. Not that that is a terribly useful number.
Why do you think this is not a useful number?
Isn't this the way to calculate the error of the spot, or RMS,
offset you get with chronyc tracking?
As a matter of fact, should this number be used as a metric of
uncertainty and not, then what should be used?
Thanks.
