I approve the advancement of the document. My only suggestion would be remove or modify the sentence: "These are important considerations for NTP, since latency directly affects jitter and therefore the accuracy of time synchronization.". I think it's the stability of the latency what directly affects jitter, not the latency itself. Transmit timestamps can be corrected for a stable latency in the MAC calculation to minimize the effect it has on accuracy. With a shorter latency that becomes less important. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ TICTOC mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tictoc
