I saw one of your peers is located in the Netherlands, Europe. That explains the
round-trip times. Having stratum 1 peers is nice, but nearby stratum 2 or even a
few stratum 3 servers might be a better choice (if I remember right, the pool
monitoring system accepts up to stratum 5 servers in the pool). One way to 
obtain
them is via 'host 0.asia.pool.ntp.org' (and '1...', '2...', '3...') multiple 
times
at different times (to allow for DNS-rotation). Then check with 'ntpdate -qp 1
<<ip>>' the stratum and with traceroute (or traceroute6 for IPv6) the number of
hops. You can also check their scores and see if their score is stable.

I just looked at the CSV data for the server. The time is reasonable accurate, 
so
the high round-trip time and jitter are not really a problem. But, you have
frequently no response at all. This causes the drops in the score (at this 
time).

You need to figure out why the NTP-requests from the monitoring server do not 
reach
your server, or why the answers don't get back. You may have bad internet
connectivity or packets may be dropped due to high traffic somewhere in between 
(or
something else...) Perhaps you can check packets from/to the monitoring server 
with
something like tcpdump.

Hope this helps!

Arnold
