68 * SHIFT_PLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
69 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in PLL mode.
70 * It also used in dampening the offset correction, to define how
71 * much of the current value in time_offset we correct for each
72 * second. Changing this value changes the stiffness of the ntp
73 * adjustment code. A lower value makes it more flexible, reducing
74 * NTP convergence time. A higher value makes it stiffer, increasing
75 * convergence time, but making the clock more stable.
77 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_PLL is 4.
78 * However this seems to increase convergence time much too long.
80 * https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2008-January/003487.html
82 * In the above mailing list discussion, it seems the value of 4
83 * was appropriate for other Unix systems with HZ=100, and that
84 * SHIFT_PLL should be decreased as HZ increases. However, Linux's
85 * clock steering implementation is HZ independent.
87 * Through experimentation, a SHIFT_PLL value of 2 was found to allow
88 * for fast convergence (very similar to the NTPv3 code used prior to
89 * v2.6.19), with good clock stability.
92 * SHIFT_FLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
93 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in FLL mode.
94 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_FLL is 2.
96 * MAXTC establishes the maximum time constant of the PLL.
