For example, let’s imagine that the timestamp set by the transmitting ES is close to its wrap-around value. After performing the required calculation, the receiving ES obtains a timestamp that has already wrapped-around, so it would look like the message had been received before it was actually sent.
Isn't it surprising that modulo arithmetic, as already employed successfully in TCP sequence numbers and the like, still seems to be incorrectly implemented today? What's more disappointing is seeing all the other incredible systemic complexity they've added, and yet the plane appears to have no mechanical backup instruments?
