Very little validation. Nothing to check if the reported time is sensible as compared to the previously known local time. 

Dirk, what type of device is your NTP server and where does it get its time? I recall that SNS had a GPS for the timing system which worked fine for the timing system’s time stamp, but it wasn’t considered reliable to use as an NTP server. Can you monitor what your NTP server is reporting?
