Because NTP is a completely different beast. NTP is used to keep a software clock synchronized with a remote source. This software clock is usually implemented as a software PLL on top of a high-resolution hardware clock, with the remote clock serving as frequency reference.
What I need to do, however, is calibrate a low-resolution hardware clock using a trusted reference (which could very well be a software clock maintained by NTP).
