Yes, Magnus hint with the book[1] was very good. Its chapter 4 gives a nice overview of how it is done, but does not go too much into the details. The other chapters cover a lot of the real world issues that NTP in a nice and concentrated form. For the details the book referes to [2] which covers the algorithm for NTPv3 and [3] which covers NTPv4. There seem some typographical problems with [3] though, which make me unsure about the formulas, without really checking them, but [4] contains them without the typographical problems. The book also mentiones [5], but i have not had the time to have a look at it yet [1] "Computer Network Time Synchronization", 2nd ed, by David L.
