There are a few things to consider about Multicast: 1. Multicast associations can not compensate for changing network conditions at each poll. 2. Muticast clients must use NTP authentication if they wish to control which multicast servers they will accept. This requirement impacts the autonomous configuration aspect of multicast (or manycast, for that matter). -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
