Greetings!
Here is the problem I am trying to solve: I have an old legacy external system that I need to synchronize with that sends custom protocol UDP packets containing a single field in the packet that contains the legacy system's current clock time (in milliseconds). The current clock time starts at 0 when the system boots and increments forever thereafter. The frequency of this message is at least every 10 seconds, not 1 PPS like I would like. My internal system is a large scale distributed Linux-based NTP- synchronized (down to 1 millisecond resolution) system. I have a single NTP server that all the other nodes in my internal system synchronize to. My internal system's NTP server is not currently synchronized to anything else and is operating as the "master". My hope is to have my internal system's NTP server receive the 10 second clock pulses from the old legacy system over UDP and have my internal system's NTP server synchronize with it. Is this possible? Any other ideas? I read this fine article (which I think is the path to take) but I need a clearer explanation on what to do. http://www.ee.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/extern.html Any help would be greatly appreciated! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.isc.org https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
