abstract = "This paper describes an experiment to obtain an upper
bound on the accuracy that can be expected when
attempting to synchronise the system clock of one
computer with the system clock of a physically remote
computer. The paper gives some reasons for wanting to
synchronise clocks and the relationship to previous
work. The experiments used the DARPA experimental
Network Time Protocol (NTP).",
