[comp.protocols.time.ntp] NTP vs. DTS

I've been asked about NTP vs. DTS.  While I know lots about the former,
I'm relatively ignorant about the latter, except for occasional brief
references on this mailing list.  How do they compare?

smb,

The short answer is there is no short answer. The long answer
is NTP Version 3. See the discussion in the introduction to
the v3 spec pub/ntp/ntpv3.ps.Z on louie.udel.edu. A technical
discussion, emphasis informal and not quotable, can be found
in pub/ntp/dts.txt on the same host. Nontechnical readers
will probably find that discussion incomprehensible.
