<p class="MsoNormal">For the benefit of all of us, could you possibly break down what you mean by "<span style="color:#1F497D">overall distribution and time domains in specific theatres of operation" to a more explicit set of concerns? Something like a description
of what you think "time distribution" and "time domains" mean, and also provide one or more examples of "specific theatres of operation"? We don't need a treatise on the subject (unless you happen to have one at hand), but a little more detail will help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Good questions. As we have been addressing time synchronization that topic explicitly includes automated means doing this, especially in a multi-mission, networked (DTN), context. I think of it as NTP for DTN.
This is a substantially bigger topic than a simple addition of an offset.<o:p></o:p></p>
