Yes, same day. Uncorrelated to anything I can identify or each other. Same story on all the boxes. Running a hefty multi-system compile with heavy NFS and Samba traffic does not produce these events, though it disturbs the Windows boxes slightly when CPU goes to 100%. >Which "linux" and which "windows" are those graphs since you >have 2 linux and 2 windows clients. That's the dual-core AMD 2.4GHz Athlon Tyan mobo whitebox runing Centos 4.5 SMP kernel. Similar results on the Dell Dimension 2400 2.4GHz Intel P4 running Centos 4.5 mono-processor kernel. Windows is a dual-core 3.4GHz Pentium D Tyan mobo whitebox running 2003 R2 SP2 standard server. >As I said, seeing the >peerstats files would be helpful (offset and roundtrip) Might try them later, but I can't belive a high-quality SMC switch is causing multi-millisecond delays. Just not possible. Pings are all about 400 microseconds, consistent but slightly different on each system. Round trip is 800 microseconds. Attaching the output from a bulk 'ntpq -p' 'ntptrace' script I have below. Note that's 'ntptrace' version 4.1 since the 4.2 script has useless offset info. >Also these graphs seem to have cut off the spikes. Are the >spikes actaully higher or is that an illusion? Higher. Sometimes 1ms, sometimes 5-6ms. >(Note the spikes are hundreds of usec, not many msec) That would be the ~1ms example, check out the other one. remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== Endrun CDMA LOCAL(0) LOCAL(0) 10 l 18 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.015 *HOPF_S(0) .CDMA. 0 l 6 16 377 0.000 0.000 0.015 Centos 32 *eachna .CDMA. 1 u 3 16 377 0.683 -0.004 0.009 -tock.usno.navy. .USNO. 1 u 452 1024 377 20.678 1.432 2.822 +navobs1.wustl.e .GPS. 1 u 479 1024 377 50.136 -1.513 0.164 +time.nist.gov .ACTS. 1 u 471 1024 377 66.528 -1.708 0.156 -tick.ucla.edu .GPS. 1 u 432 1024 377 87.372 3.296 0.085 Ultra 10 *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 11 16 377 0.869 -0.016 0.042 172.29.87.15: stratum 2, offset -0.000007, synch distance 0.00783 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000018, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' Ultra 80 *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 4 16 377 0.942 -0.012 0.012 172.29.87.17: stratum 2, offset -0.000038, synch distance 0.00685 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000017, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' 44p *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 13 16 377 0.809 -0.001 0.016 172.29.87.13: stratum 2, offset -0.000014, synch distance 0.00627 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000018, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' Centos 64 *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 12 16 377 0.664 0.003 0.487 172.29.87.19: stratum 2, offset -0.000009, synch distance 0.00720 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000018, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' W2K3 64 *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 4 16 377 0.734 0.053 0.014 172.29.87.20: stratum 2, offset -0.000060, synch distance 0.00650 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000019, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' XP 32 laptop *172.29.87.3 .CDMA. 1 u 7 16 377 0.819 0.468 0.256 172.29.87.12: stratum 2, offset -0.000173, synch distance 0.00655 172.29.87.3: stratum 1, offset -0.000017, synch distance 0.00038, refid 'CDMA' _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
