Hi everyone,
I've added something that should help servers on small bandwidth
significantly.
If you login to the manage page - http://www.pool.ntp.org/manage -
and set the netspeed of your server to something less than 1Mbit
the server will be removed from the global pool.
Personally I'd prefer a checkbox - it's more obvious. eg. I have
512kb upstream and the ntp bandwidth isn't significant enough to
worry about yet. For now I just set the servers to 1mb. Later on,
if the pool gets busy the ability to disable zones (switch off
world, or even limit myself to the uk zone) would be handy.
Hi Tony,
I did consider that. I can see the appeal in giving the server
operators more fine control like that, but I'm not sure it's in the
best interest of the pool.
I'm planning to change the netspeed to just be "low, standard, high,
very high" or some such instead of the absolute bandwidth (which
doesn't make much sense anyway -- we can't control the traffic that
well. It's like saying "around 20 + around 20 is 40.4566738571347572
exactly" when it really is somewhere between 30 and 60).
