Ahoj Matej,

good work, you've made some really nice stats. I wonder if somewhat similar interesting stats can be part of pool.ntp.org website... Maybe the monitoring station could gather some, while doing offset monitoring. I'd like to see such stats not only at global level, but also for specific zones (Europe, Slovakia...)

AFAIK currently we can only see server counts for zones and offsets for specific servers. Some nice stats could tell every time server maintainer something like "yeah, my server is one of the best, I'll add more of 'em" or "d'oh, this machine could be replaced"...

Let's ask Ask. :o)

Hi.

Yesterday I gathered some statistics about (IPv4) servers in the pool.
I'm posting them here, since at least the offset part seems on topic.
Offset (absolute value) measured against my stratum 2 in Prague. I used ntpdate, so it might not be that accurate.

Out of 2348 servers:

+-----------+--------------+-----+
|   offset  | # of servers |  %  |
+-----------+--------------+-----+
| <= 1 ms   |     1105     | 47% |
| <= 2 ms   |     1441     | 61% |
| <= 5 ms   |     1925     | 82% |
| <= 10 ms  |     2148     | 91% |
| <= 25 ms  |     2269     | 97% |
| <= 50 ms  |     2311     | 98% |
| <= 100 ms |     2330     | 99% |
+-----------+--------------+-----+

Out of 2348 servers:

+-----------+--------------+-----+
|  stratum  | # of servers |  %  |
+-----------+--------------+-----+
|     1     |      142     |  6% |
|     2     |     1592     | 68% |
|     3     |      578     | 25% |
|     4     |       26     |  1% |
+-----------+--------------+-----+

Out of 1044 servers:

+-----------+--------------+-----+
|     OS    | # of servers |  %  |
+-----------+--------------+-----+
|   Linux   |      658     | 63% |
|    BSD    |      213     | 20% |
|  Windows  |       30     |  3% |
|   SunOS   |       25     |  2% |
+-----------+--------------+-----+

More then half of the servers didn't return info about their OS, so the last table might be off quite a bit.

    Thanks that's really interesting and helps to manage my
    expectations. I
    hope the calibration other mentioned will resolve the offset.

    Best regards,
