That gives you 4 time stamps: the time the request left the client the time the request arrived the server the time the response left the server the time the response arrived the client ntp assumes the network delays in each direction are the same and adjusts the local clock to get that answer. (that's after lots of filtering and such) If instead, you assume that both clocks are good, you can directly calculate the transit time in each direction. If you are going 1000 miles, 1 ms accuracy is probably good enough. If you are interested in LAN distances you probably need better than that. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
