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).
I couldn't agree more. But out of curiosity does anyone have scoop why TAI exists? I believe GPSTIME predates it, which appears analogous to TAI. -- ++ytti
