Right algorithm for any (S)NTP request:
t1 = localTime
do { t2 = localTime ) while ( t1 == t2 );
rtd = rdtsc // round trip delay
send request to server, with originate timestamp = t2
retrieve response from server
rtd = ( rdtsc - rtd ) / ratio
In local network I can synchronize computers in range +-200 µs, and in
internet = +- 400 µs if use NTP servers pool.
All programs work with these algorithms?
