/**
 * this file provides the time synchronization extension to cometd.
 * Timesync allows the client and server to exchange time information on every
 * handshake and connect message so that the client may calculate an approximate
 * offset from it's own clock epoch to that of the server.
 *
 * With each handshake or connect, the extension sends timestamps within the
 * ext field like: <code>{ext:{timesync:{tc:12345567890,l:23,o:4567},...},...}</code>
 * where:<ul>
 *  <li>tc is the client timestamp in ms since 1970 of when the message was sent.
 *  <li>l is the network lag that the client has calculated.
 *  <li>o is the clock offset that the client has calculated.
 * </ul>
 * The accuracy of the offset and lag may be calculated with tc-now-l-o,
 * which should be zero if the calculated offset and lag are perfectly
 * accurate.
 * <p>
 * A cometd server that supports timesync, should respond only if the
 * measured accuracy value is greater than accuracy target. The response
 * will be an ext field like: <code>{ext:{timesync:{tc:12345567890,ts:1234567900,p:123,a:3},...},...}</code>
 * where:<ul>
 *  <li>tc is the client timestamp of when the message was sent,
 *  <li>ts is the server timestamp of when the message was received
 *  <li>p is the poll duration in ms - ie the time the server took before sending the response.
 *  <li>a is the measured accuracy of the calculated offset and lag sent by the client
 * </ul>
 *
 * On receipt of the response, the client is able to use current time to determine
 * the total trip time, from which p is subtracted to determine an approximate
 * two way network traversal time. The measured accuracy is used to adjust the assumption
 * that the network is symmetric for traversal time, so: <ul>
 * <li>lag = (now-tc-p)/2-a
 * <li>offset = ts-tc-lag
 * </ul>
 *
 * In order to smooth over any transient fluctuations, the extension keeps a sliding
 * average of the offsets received. By default this is over 10 messages, but this can
 * be changed with the dojox.cometd.timesync._window element.
