[ntpwg] WG LAST CALL: draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv4-proto-06.txt

[David L. Mills]

Steve,

The poll interval must be scaled according to the time constant in order 
to satisfy the mathematical constraints of the feedback loop. The loop 
parameters have been carefully chosen so that the scaling is directly 
proportional. To be convincing for the skeptical engineer, see the book 
and/or the briefing slides on the project page.
