hi, I hope that someone can give me a hint: I'm running an internal NTP server up against two stratum 1 servers. I'm up and running but what annoys me is the high diff. between with the stratum 1's and the Soekris ntp regulated clock with an adjustment of 1-4 seconds every app. 20 min and the

Ervin, So we are down to a HW issue if I understand you correctly ... BIOS corrections ? ervin Hardware is my current guess, and it could be as simple as the onboard clock is a bit off. My knowledge in this area is pretty generic. While I spend a fair amount of time on NTP, I do not

Hi The high jitter is normal when the system is unable to tune the local clock far enough. How old is the 4501 box? Everything I have seen in the last few months has been very close to the correct frequency. Turning off NTP and just checking the system time against a wrist watch should
