  • Constructor Details

    • TimeInfo

      public TimeInfo(NtpV3Packet message, long returnTimeMillis)
      Create TimeInfo object with raw packet message and destination time received.
      Parameters:
      message - NTP message packet
      returnTimeMillis - destination receive time
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if message is null

    • TimeInfo

      public TimeInfo(NtpV3Packet msgPacket, long returnTimeMillis, boolean doComputeDetails)
      Create TimeInfo object with raw packet message and destination time received. Auto-computes details if computeDetails flag set otherwise this is delayed until computeDetails() is called. Delayed computation is for fast intialization when sub-millisecond timing is needed.
      Parameters:
      msgPacket - NTP message packet
      returnTimeMillis - destination receive time
      doComputeDetails - flag to pre-compute delay/offset values
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if message is null

    • TimeInfo

      public TimeInfo(NtpV3Packet message, long returnTimeMillis, List<String> comments)
      Create TimeInfo object with raw packet message and destination time received.
      Parameters:
      message - NTP message packet
      returnTimeMillis - destination receive time
      comments - List of errors/warnings identified during processing
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if message is null

    • TimeInfo

      public TimeInfo(NtpV3Packet message, long returnTimeMillis, List<String> comments, boolean doComputeDetails)
      Create TimeInfo object with raw packet message and destination time received. Auto-computes details if computeDetails flag set otherwise this is delayed until computeDetails() is called. Delayed computation is for fast intialization when sub-millisecond timing is needed.
      Parameters:
      message - NTP message packet
      returnTimeMillis - destination receive time
      comments - list of comments used to store errors/warnings with message
      doComputeDetails - flag to pre-compute delay/offset values
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if message is null

  • Method Details

    • addComment

      public void addComment(String comment)
      Add comment (error/warning) to list of comments associated with processing of NTP parameters. If comment list not create then one will be created.
      Parameters:
      comment - the comment

    • computeDetails

      public void computeDetails()
      Compute and validate details of the NTP message packet. Computed fields include the offset and delay.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a TimeStamp object that contains the same values as this object.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to compare with.
      Returns:
      true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
      Since:
      3.4

    • getAddress

      public InetAddress getAddress()
      Get host address from message datagram if available
      Returns:
      host address of available otherwise null
      Since:
      3.4

    • getComments

      public List<String> getComments()
      Return list of comments (if any) during processing of NTP packet.
      Returns:
      List or null if not yet computed

    • getDelay

      public Long getDelay()
      Get round-trip network delay. If null then could not compute the delay.
      Returns:
      Long or null if delay not available.

    • getMessage

      public NtpV3Packet getMessage()
      Returns NTP message packet.
      Returns:
      NTP message packet.

    • getOffset

      public Long getOffset()
      Get clock offset needed to adjust local clock to match remote clock. If null then could not compute the offset.
      Returns:
      Long or null if offset not available.

    • getReturnTime

      public long getReturnTime()
      Returns time at which time message packet was received by local machine.
      Returns:
      packet return time.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Computes a hashcode for this object. The result is the exclusive OR of the return time and the message hash code.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object.
      Since:
      3.4
