Although I think going full NTP is overkill, in particular because timestamps tend to have very high entropy in the lower bits. I think chosing a 16bit fraction will last us 20 years, but more importantly, expanding a 16bit fraction to 32bits is just a matter of stick on more bits, whereas a 16bit count of milliseconds is a nightmare to extend. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
