Let me back up and see if I can restate your basic concern in simple words so that I am sure that I understand you.

I believe that you are concerned that the timestamps provided by NTP will not be accurate enough if the timestamps are taken from more than one administrative domain.   Our PDM proposal depends on fairly reliable timestamps.  So, if the timestamps are not reliable, then the PDM is not very useful.

Please let me know if I have understood you.

Thanks,
Nalini
