And only about 0.27 qps. Your 256k server sees much lighter traffic than my 100Mbit server, but then that's the point :-/ Only 1/100 though, rather than 1/400. That does mean your overheads (ntpq etc) are higher. For comparison, my current sysstats: time since restart: 5021496 time since reset: 5021496 packets received: 107066412 packets processed: 163303 current version: 29921651 previous version: 76172980 bad version: 63 access denied: 810 bad length or format: 63921 bad authentication: 13489 rate exceeded: 19488834 (29921651+76172980-163303)/5021496 ~= 21qps However that's 0.21qps/Mbit, whereas you have 1.08 _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
