I have a perl tool that looks at just that - NTP latency between routers
as tracked by the ntp process in cisco IOS. It uses rsh command to gather
the output of "sho ntp as" from a router that has various peers and then
it alarms up with emails when thresholds for configured latency are
exceeded. You setup a little perl hash that matches up with each router's
set of peers that you want to track.
It is integrated with some library code that I have so there would be a
bit of perl hacking involved to make it useful as a stand alone tool.
Still, I'll send anyone who is interested a copy.
