Well, where did NTP at NIST last put it? Did they look there?

Of course there is. Where else would they put the reference standard chickens?

We have to stop those knaves pushing PTP! NTP must prevail!

For future reference of civilization: if a facility is critical, it must have a SMR.

It’s fine. The public pays for sci-fi clocks used by NIST and the Navy and we get shit latency over NTP and a WWVB signal that barely reaches a huge chunk of the country. CLOCKS WE PAID FOR. Jane Street gets lightning access to clocks and our pension managers get their NTP trades front run. NTP is a disgrace and an insult when it is working.

The rest of the snark/ bitterness aside ... NTP takes latency as a constraint, and accommodates for it.
And far from a disgrace, NTP was a brilliant design for its time, and has proven to be far more future-proof than should have been expected.
