I seriously question the quality of nanex infrastructure in general ... they may have had a clock shift (if they left NTP running)

that article is a lot of ass. the timestamps in the packet are generated at the exchange(not on the wire) where its on different physical machines... perfectly reasonable for each machines clock o be a microseccond or two off.. about the resolution of GPS time sync.

Man, I came here to make this joke, but you've beaten me to it... and you're the only other comment.

I love HN. <3
