Section 5 says:
T = ((T2 - T1) + (T3 - T4)) / 2.
It should say:
T = ((T2 - T1) + (T4 - T3)) / 2.
Notes:
Because T4 always will be greater than (or equal to) T3
For example assume
T1 = 1
T2 = 3
T3 = 4
T4 = 6
Case 1: As per the given formula the local clock offset will be
T = ((3 - 1) + (4 - 6)) / 2 = 0 which is wrong
Case 2: As per the corrected formula the local clock offset will be
T = ((3 - 1)+ (6 - 4)) / 2 = 2 which is correct
