There are a few servers in the tr zone now, though most are

If anyone else wants to serve some extra requests, let me know
and I can add your server to the tr zone. :-)
When I look at the stats from Anssi, then his servers gets around
600 times more requests then any of my server here in
Switzerland. After your last request about more servers in June,
I cheated and set all my 6 (3x IPv4 + IPv6) servers from 1.5
Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s (even if 5 of them share this bandwidth
together). But traffic did only double, see [1] (only
ntp[1-3].home4u.ch are my own systems).

If I look at the number of servers in tr zone compared to ch
zone, there is a huge discrepancy compared to population of each
country. See my posting [2] with some stats regarding this.

I would be willing to also help serve the tr zone, but only if
some more servers from other zones with a lot of servers
(probably mostly Europe) also are added. My servers are not only
running for ntp, so I do not know what kind of side effect this
would have, if they have to serve up to 600 times more ntp requests.
If the situation with the excessive requests from the Turk
Telekom CPE equipment stays the same and at some point there
are not any servers for the tr zone then I think the
"solution" will be to just turn off access to the NTP Pool
from Turkey rather than having the requests fallback to the
general europe zone.
Strange, according to [3] and [4], it seems that Turkey is in the
asia and not the europe ntp pool zone. But I guess Turkey is more
oriented to Europe then Asia, but geographically it is probably
more in Asia then Europe. I do not know, what would be better, to
add the tr zone to the europe zone or not, then the europe zone
[5] as around 10 times more server then the asia zone. I do see
the problem, if you move tr to europe, then asia has even less
servers.
