The RADclock project (formerly known under 'TSCclock') aims to provide a new system for network timing within two years. We are developing replacements for NTP clients and servers based on new principles, in particular the need to distinguish between difference clocks and absolute clocks. The term RADclock, 'Robust Absolute and Difference Clock', stems from this. The RADclock difference clock, for example, can measure RTTs to under a microsecond, even if connectively to the time server is lost for over a week!
The RADclock is available and can be used as an alternative to the ntpd daemon to provide convenient system clock synchronisation for systems running FreeBSD and Linux. In terms of local hardware, it exploits the availability of counters such as the HPET counter or the TSC (Time-Stamp-Counter) commonly found in PC architectures.
