Accurate time to the millisecond is pretty much
essential for any network troubleshooting. Say
you want to diagnose a SIP problem. You collect
transaction logs from both phones, the VoIP
gateway, and the PBX. Now you try to merge them
to derive the sequence of events. You NEED
millisecond accuracy.
----------------------------------------
If all logs are sent to a unix server that does
syslogd the log entries would go into the file
in order no matter what timestamp is on them.
