A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping
RFC 1589, “A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping”, is an Informational document published in March 1994 by D. Mills. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memorandum describes an engineering model which implements a precision time-of-day function for a generic operating system. The model is based on the principles of disciplined oscillators and phase-lock loops (PLL) often found in the engineering literature. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
What “Informational” means
