That has the capabilities needed to support UTC based timekeeping including correct ways of handling leap seconds.
Make API capable of stepping, phase and frequency control
Make it possible to send/receive different length packets.
Many users have xDSL and other links that have different speeds in transmitt vs. receive direction. (1000byte @ 1Mbit takes 8ms)
Different size packets could be used to estimate speed difference
Evaluate the possibility of intermediate nodes to participate in the time transfer.
