摘要
Embodiments of the present invention set forth a method and system for reducing uncertainty in receive and transmit timestamps created by an NTP server. The uncertainty in the receive timestamps is removed by recording the time-of-arrival in the hardware clock of the NTP server before the incoming packets may be delayed by traversing the various layers of software in a timestamping system. The uncertainty in the transmit timestamps is removed by giving the outgoing packets a timestamp in the future using an estimate of the transmission latency calculated by the latency estimator filter. Subsequently, the actual time-of-departure is used to re-calculate and update the estimate of the transmission latency. In this fashion, superior control of the timestamping function may be implemented in existing NTP servers in a manner that retains interworking compatibility with the current NTP standards.
