2006-08-29 Thread Janto Dreijer
I want to measure the packet delivery delays over various network links. For this I need to synchronise the times of the sender and receiver, either against NTP or eachother. Unfortunately I won't necessarily have root priviledges to change the PCs' clocks. So I'm looking for a way I can determine
