Or simply use TAI which is the obvious time reference for Internet
devices. Using UTC in routers is madness. Routers and Internet servers
should use TAI internally and use UTC only when communicating with
humans (the inferior life form which crawls on the Earth surface and
cares about things like whether the sun is high at noon, for outside
picnics).
