thanks for posting, I'm pretty sure that bugs are more likely to be
ours than yours :)

During the development of the algorithm we used a simple traffic
simulator to verify (informally) the timestamping and the guarantees
provided. I've tested this version of the code with the simulator and
so far it worked fine, so I think that timestamping and guarantees should
be OK.

Please let us know if we can be of any help,
