Dave,

Have you considered the alternative approach of including the time unit
with the icmp time-stamp rather than forcing conversion to milliseconds
which seems a little arbitrary?  You would then have some idea of the
granularity of the clock ticks you are comparing.  (Perhaps a self-defining
message using x.409?)  A 24-hour rollover seems to be a reasonable request.
