3504	deadline_timer (based on UTC time) is not suitable for communication timeouts	Bjarne Laursen <bla@…>	chris_kohlhoff	"If you use the deadline_timer to make a polling every 10th second, it will be heavely affected if someone adjust the system clock with date command, or if the time is adjusted automaticly by NTP.

Uses as this should use a timer that cannot make jumps like that.

I solved this by making a new time_traits called monotone_time. It uses GetTickCount() for windows and clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ...) for linux. See attachment.

To use it your timer must be a monotone_timer instead of a deadline_timer. You can use both types of timers in you application.

I hope this can be a part of a future release of boost::asio"	Feature Requests	reopened	To Be Determined	asio	Boost 1.41.0	Problem			pgquiles@… leon@…
