/**
 * TimeStamp class represents the Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamp as defined in RFC-1305 and SNTP (RFC-2030). It is represented as a 64-bit unsigned
 * fixed-point number in seconds relative to 0-hour on 1-January-1900. The 32-bit low-order bits are the fractional seconds whose precision is about 200
 * picoseconds. Assumes overflow date when date passes MAX_LONG and reverts back to 0 is 2036 and not 1900. Test for most significant bit: if MSB=0 then 2036
 * basis is used otherwise 1900 if MSB=1.
 * <p>
 * Methods exist to convert NTP timestamps to and from the equivalent Java date representation, which is the number of milliseconds since the standard base time
 * known as "the epoch", namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.
