ntpd includes optional logging facilities to collect most of the raw data you might want to analyze. Details are in monopt.html If you don't have a copy on your local system, try installing something like ntp-doc. If you get a version off the web, try to find one with a version that matches the version of ntpd that you are running. loopstats contains the offset and drift and ... That offset is ntpd's opinion of the offset which may be buggy. If you have a PPS input, the time on your local system is probably "good" relative to internet times. rawstats will have 4 time stamps for each pair of packets exchanged. Those are the time the request left your system, the time it arrived at the remove server, the time the response left the remove server, and the time it arrived back at your system. If you assume the network delays are symmetric and the time on the remote server is correct, then you can compute the offset of your local clock. If you assume the clocks are both correct, you can compute the network delay in each direction. peerstats has the offset to each server after filtering. -- These are my opinions.
