Harlan, I may be wrong but I believe that "synchronization distance" is the criteria for selecting the synchronization source from the selection set. Since synchronization distance is one half the round trip delay plus the dispersion, it is most unlikely that servers with delays of 100 or 200 milliseconds will ever be selected unless there is nothing else available. It's generally possible to find servers with delays less than twenty milliseconds. It should almost always be possible to find servers with delays less than 50 milliseconds. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
