No question that there are lots of systems which do not have their clocks synchronized.  Indeed, a lot of PCs aren't even synchronized to the nearest 10 seconds, let alone anything finer.

But then, a lot of PCs aren't in need of synchronization.  Nobody (except maybe the individual user) is concerned about response time for them -- or going to consider doing anything about response times that aren't a matter of tens of minutes, and on an on-going basis.   


The issue is all of the systems where response times DOmatter.  Those clocks do get synchronized already, because there is a need that justifies the effort required to do so.  The challenge then becomes, How do we measure transmission times between those systems once they convert to IPv6?  When there is no way in IPv6 to record those times, that is a problem.  


And this isn't the only approach that is being considered -- just the only one (that I am aware of) which doesn't involve adding extra hardware at the end-points.  (Hardware which will also require some kind of clock synchronization.)

not arguing.  just trying to explain to you that a lot of engineering
and research have shown that ntp, pee cees running unix or linux with
gps, ... do not have millisecond accuracy on stamping packets over the
net.  folk are trying to save you wasted effort.
