Always cool to see running-code:
  draft-ietf-ntp-roughtime-08

I believe that there has been some controversy about how much traffic
RoughTime might actually cause to NTP servers, and I have wondered how this
might be reconciled with challenged networks.  (I'm not on ntp@.  It was not
my intention to re-litigate things)

I'm hoping that the Netnod people will come to IOTOPS in the future and tell
us more about their experiments.

The writeup from the RIPE site, which did not include contact info:

Netnod AB

Recognizing the essential role of time synchronisation in internet security
and the shortcomings of existing protocols for IoT devices, this project aims
to advance the Roughtime proposed standard. By reigniting efforts to develop
an IETF standard for Roughtime, the project aspires to provide a quick and
secure method for time synchronisation on IoT devices, addressing the
security vulnerabilities inherent in widely deployed protocols like the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Network Time Security (NTS). Netnod will
spearhead this initiative, leveraging expertise from previous successful
Roughtime projects and leading the IETF work on the recent NTS Proposed
Standard.
