Hello

1. Why aren't described system variables offset, sys_jitter, frequency and
clk_wander in the NTPv4-MIB?

2. What's the time resolution?

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The time resolution in integer format, where the resolution
is represented as divisions of a second, e.g., a value of 1000
translates to 1.0 ms."

3. Why uptime since Jan 1, 1970 (00:00:00.000) UTC?
