Abstract

This document describes an alternative timestamp to the Monotonic Receive Timestamp Extension Field defined in NTP version 5 (NTPv5) when transferring frequency offset. The new extension field, named Monotonic RAW Receive Timestamp Extension Field uses a stable clock source that is not affected by NTP adjustment. It provides more accurate frequency-transfer offset between a remote server and local client, which further enhances the accuracy of time synchronization.
