[Mischanko, Edward T] 
I believe the setting limits the maximum amount of peers that are selected as 
candidates for averaging?

/*
 * Selection algorithm tuning parameters
 */
#define NTP_MINCLOCK    3       /* min survivors */
#define NTP_MAXCLOCK    10      /* max candidates */
#define MINDISPERSE     .001    /* min distance */
#define MAXDISTANCE     1.5     /* max root distance (select threshold) */
#define CLOCK_SGATE     3.0     /* popcorn spike gate */
#define HUFFPUFF        900     /* huff-n'-puff sample interval (s) */
#define MAXHOP          2       /* anti-clockhop threshold */
#define MAX_TTL         8       /* max ttl mapping vector size */
#define BEACON          7200    /* manycast beacon interval */
#define NTP_MAXEXTEN    2048    /* max extension field size */
#define NTP_ORPHWAIT    300     /* orphan wair (s) */
