Canonically, 'when it is being disciplined by other means'. In practice, when you want your bottleneck host to keep serving time even when its Internet connection has (temporarily) failed. That way, the entire flock stays with it, which is probably preferable to all of them drifting every which way. The expected variation is halved immediately; also, an always-on Internet gateway will probably coast closer to real time than a herd of laptops. Groetjes, Maarten Wiltink
