Re: [time-nuts] Temperature weirdness with Thunderbolt & Lady Heather 5

Hi Peter, I also have a T-Bolt monitored by LH5 but am not seeing any glitches like yours. No clear idea what may be the root cause, but from your screen dump all the metrics are affected so it is not likely to be just a failing temp sensor. Maybe something global such as power cleanliness.

Hi Dan, Everything seems pretty much back to normal this morning. I’ll have to take another look at yesterdays data to see when that happened. I’ll add a suitable graph to my site as an example of wide area routing induced offset glitches. Mike > Le 11 janv. 2017 à 00:14, d...@drown.org a écrit

[time-nuts] 5ms glitch on WAN ntp server peerstats at around 01:00 UTC today

Hi, I saw 5ms offset jumps on most of the internet ntp servers that I am using at about 01:00UTC today. The servers are as widespread as NIST Boulder, NPL UK, Hungary, Scotland, Spain, France, Czechoslovakia . Most but not all pool provided servers were not affected . It was not my ISPs or
