Querying from a downtown Chicago, Illinois, USA location on
[0-4].ntp-pool-test-logidac.com returned very promising results:
Host Country Region City Ping (ms) Hops
64.81.227.163 US IL Chicago 343 8
140.192.21.130 US IL Chicago 2 9
140.192.21.132 US IL Chicago 2 9
66.90.78.182 US IL Chicago 5 7
66.90.89.162 US IL Chicago 4 7
Other than the selection of a DSL-backed server as the "closest",
these results look absolutely fantastic. Four of the five servers have
average ping times lower than 5 ms!
I congratulate you on an outstanding effort, Guillaume.
Of course, we currently have no good way of knowing the connection
type for a particular server, such as the DSL-based system returned as
the "closest" result. Perhaps version 2.0 could some day take a
"bandwidth metric" from the pool database and use that to weight
results as well, thus lowering the load on DSL/cable modem based
systems
