[ntp:questions] NTP-PPS standalone operation: How to ignore network interface changes?

2015-06-12 Thread Joachim Fabini
Does anyone know how to stop ntpd to listen to local network interface changes? That is, I want ntp to listen exclusively to the local GPS/PPS signal (server 127.127.20.0) and ignore all other network interfaces, messages, events, etc. Background: I'm using ntp on a Linux-based box for accurate ti

configure with appropriate parameters, that you need for PPS-support anyhow). Then build and install. At least the one system that we have tested until now performs as expected. thanks Joachim Am 12.06.2015 um 11:37 schrieb Marco Marongiu: > On 12/06/15 10:07, Joachim Fabini wrote: >> I wa

uing an ifup command). As simplest solution you can remove the rights on the file (sudo chmod 000 ntpdate) such that your ntp will no longer lose the time on network interface status changes. hope it helps and sorry for the noise, br Joachim Am 12.06.2015 um 12:26 schrieb Marco Marongiu: > On

Sandip, relative synchronization over the wireless link is a mess. I use Linux desktop systems with GPS/PPS receivers for measuring one-way delay in mobile setups and it works. Imho any PPS-capable GPS receiver on the market should satisfy your needs when you integrate it correctly into a Linux de

NTP algorithms rely on symmetric connection delay but DSL delay is commonly highly asymmetrical. In measurements for my setup (VDSL; 8Mbit/s DL, 768kbit/s UL), the VDSL one-way delay at low packet payload averages 12ms for DL and 6ms for UL. Very surprising if you consider the DL/UL capacity ratio

Hello Brandon, Which version of ntp is deployed on your system? Any relevant/suspect output in syslog when restarting ntpd? What does ntpq report? First guess: please remember http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3367 - this was staged (only) for ntp-4.2.8p11. Make sure that either your ntp has th
