    I don't know. IIRC time from both ends is in the packets.<br>
    <br>
    I am sure someone else knows how the time is actually calculated, I
    was mostly guessing.<br>

                Seems the server hands out a lease covering the time
                from the client's time to the current server time,
                essentially forever.<br>
                <br>
                This might have been done to compensate for the elapsed
                time from the client sends the request until it is
                handled.<br>
                <br>
                One might think a cap on that time gap would be
                appropriate.<br>
                <br>
                I wonder if the client was ahead of the server time
                wise, would the lease then be shorter -> negative
                -> no lease time?<br>
