[Freeswitch-dev] Epoch current time difference

[Glaucio Vaz de Mello]

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.
I made several tests and came to the conclusion that FreeSWITCH clock is
always avanced compared to system time. The difference is about 9 seconds
per day, just letting FreeSWITCH running, without touching the system clock.
Effectively I can sync with system time with "fsctl sync_clock", then the
difference comes to zero and start counting again.

This can be an issue for billing long duration calls, since the registered
call duration will be some seconds more than it really was.
If someone need more information, logs or reporting this issue as a bug,
just let me know.


regards,
Glaucio
