[time-nuts] Tracking NTP displacement and correlation betweentwo clients.

[Bob Bownes]

David,

The problem is that they start in sync and over the course of a day drift that far apart despite having NTP running. We're not sure why NTP isn't correcting it along the way. Though at this point, we are looking at a firmware bug.

Thanks!
Bob
