    // large asymmetries in the TX/RX legs.  Downside of the existing NTP
    // approach (particularly because of the PID controller we are using to
    // produce the control signal from the filtered data) are that the rate at
    // which discipline events are actually acted upon becomes irregular and can
    // become drawn out (the time between actionable event can go way up).  If
    // the system receives a strong high quality data point, the proportional
    // component of the controller can produce a strong correction which is left
    // in place for too long causing overshoot.  In addition, the integral
    // component of the system currently is an approximation based on the
    // assumption of a more or less homogeneous sampling of the error.  Its
    // unclear what the effect of undermining this assumption would be right
    // now.

    // Two ideas which come to mind immediately would be to...
    // 1) Keep a history of more data points (32 or so) and ignore data points
    //    whose RTT is more than a certain number of standard deviations outside
    //    of the norm.
    // 2) Eliminate the PID controller portion of this system entirely.
    //    Instead, move to a system which uses a very wide filter (128 data
    //    points or more) with a sum-of-least-squares line fitting approach to
    //    tracking the long term drift.  This would take the place of the I
    //    component in the current PID controller.  Also use a much more narrow
    //    outlier-rejector filter (as described in #1) to drive a short term
