I suspect it is because iburst is relatively new and changing defaults is something that is usually done with great deliberation and only after people are REALLY sure that it is the right answer, especially when it only results in an improvement in startup sync and does not fix anything that was failing. I can't think of cases where 'iburst' would break things, though some special cases might be better off without it, but for 'normal' configurations using the network to chime with servers. I would not use it on a reference clock, but I have not given a lot of thought to what the effect of this might be. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
