29  * This implements an AP-HUB time sync algorithm that is expected to improve time sync accuracy by
30  * avoiding communication latency jitter.
31  *
32  * It uses max of (apTime - hubTime) in a window, which is more consistent than average, to
33  * establish mapping between ap timestamp and hub stamp. Additional low pass filtering is added
34  * to further lowering jitter (it is not expected for two clocks to drift much in short time).
35  *
36  * Max is slightly anti-intuitive here because difference is defined as apTime - hubTime. Max of
37  * that is equivalent to min of hubTime - apTime, which corresponds to a packet that get delayed
38  * by system scheduling minimally (closer to the more consistent hardware related latency).
