Look at the time differences between samples for an IP Address in peerstats.
If the polling interval is X, there will be a line in rawstats for each
packet received. If none are lost, the spacing will be X.
There is a filter between the raw packets and the ones that come out of
peerstats. It has a buffer of the last 8 samples. It only uses the one with
the lowest round trip time. So if you get 8 samples in a row with increasing
RTT, the last 7 will get saved until the a new sample bumps the first one out
of the buffer.
Refclocks samples always get through. I assume it takes new samples when the
RTT is equal but there might be a simple special case test.
