Hi,

I test ftsp alone and find some abnormal skews. One instance is skew of *23%
* and the corresponding regression table is:
localtime          offset
5327769  1120379
5982298        1271252
5888794         1249698
5795290         1228145
5722274         1211314
5608281         1185039
5514777         1163486
5421273         1141932
The regression figure is
here<http://www.cs.wayne.edu/xliu/imgs/ftsp_regression.jpg>.
Almost every of the 130 nodes is returning skew of 23% !

Another is *183%*, regression table:
1474355  450851
1376050  277030
1327295  -9142
1229783  43734

Any hint on where the issue may arise from, packet-level synchronization or
packet timestamping? Thanks for your attention.
