Two-way time transfer measures the round-trip propagation time. As a result, it's not directly relevant to the accuracy.

So then you need to know distance / roundtrip-length within centimeter precision as well (below 29.98 cm for sub-nanosecond precision… to be precise).

Since cm precision is often not possible, is roundtrip-length an estimated average from prior roundtrips?
