[ntp:questions] Configuring a cluster: ntpd choosing local clock over server with lower stratum (and cycling between them)

2007-04-04 Thread dromedaryl
I'm trying to configure NTP for a cluster. The cluster has a "master" node and all nodes know which node is master. My NTP configuration is to have the master node the only node that contacts an external NTP server, with the other nodes using the master as their time server. The master node's ntp.

I am setting up a solaris 8 server as an v3 ntp client (using public ntp servers). I can change the date and time and then start xntpd daemon with the start script and the time sets to the correct time. When I issue the "date" command, setting the clock back 10 minutes, the time doesn't s

[ntp:questions] Accuracy of NTP

2007-04-04 Thread Chris Cox
Can anyone point me to some simulations that indicate the accuracy achievable using NTP? I'd like to know something like this: If we assume the servers are reasonably accurate, and state the statistics of the network jitter and the behaviour of the client oscillator, and control the clock using NT
