Thanks, Brien, for your response. As I understand, you mean that due to a lack of discipline a datagrams can get false timestamps sometimes. Well, but the offset of my server rarely exceeds 2ms and the majority of the upper limb population lies far higher. As I understand, only the asymmetry can explain that - the upward times are longer then the downward times here. Moreover, other wedge plots (for other peers) don't have that huge asymmetry. Two similar asymetric wedge plots I get also for another my server . One of its peers, I surely know, was overloaded, the second peer is from the same location as that one from my original post. And, again, it has the antitail, although the offset behaviour of my second server is quite smooth. Yes, I am not satisfied with the shape of the lx offset curve though the values itself are good for S2. Here you can see the last loopstats picture: lx.ujf.cas.cz/ntp-lx/loop.png. Any comment would be appreciated. -- K. Sandler _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
