Whoah, did you people talk it or what :- ). Last time I was here there were like 20 messages and now I saw I ain't seeing straight. Well I had a tough week with a Beta 2 release for the freeware I'm forgin' at. And I'll have some more busy weeks before I can finally start hitting at the NTP :- )
Hal Murray: Thank you for the info Hal (hm, I feel like in Arthur C. Clarke *laugh*... kidding, don't mean no disrespect!). I don't plan to go flooding anybody with NTP packets. I'm considering doing something rather gentle :- >. Danny Mayer: I ain't gettin' discouraged so easily. But NTP is a huge monster compared to what I was thinking it is (a tiny mouse). It's like in a cartoon when some character steps down on the claw of a huge beast and then looks up and up and up and up and up... and whoops *gulp*... *laugh*. So the only that I can do is either study the very basics that I need for my task (which I'm doing) or wait for a few years till I have time to read it all (unlikely). Yeah, I know the lag question. It's relative, obviously. Go trip usually doesn't take the same as the return trip :- ), I do know THAT much. That's why I was questioning the answer of a NTP server altogether. Even if the latency is below 200 ms, how can NTP keep it together to an accurancy less than 10 ms. But hey, I guess there ain't no simple answer to that right? :- D. Unfortunately I won't have time to read hundreds of pages about NTP in the near future, even if it's so complexingly-interesting. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
