What I meant was that, in the presence of short term variation in measured time from the servers, it would increase the error relative to true time, as it would end up tracking the perturbations in the measurement, rather than the underlying time. In particular, if you are getting large offsets because the platform makes it difficult to measure the time accurately, a low maxpoll will result in the system time wandering badly, but a higher value may allow the measurement noise to be averaged out. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
