The simple reason is that with my present setup most of the available 
ethernet bandwidth is used for the data being multicast from Linrad to 
MAP65.  I don't want either of the two computers using the network for 
non-essential purposes, causing collisions and dropped packets.

I'm still in the early learning stages of using multicast data, and I 
want to understand the system's limits as well as I can.

I expect that with two network interface cards in each machine and a 
dedicated private line for the multicast data, ntpd will indeed be the 
way to go.
