Hello everybody! I am new here and I have a question that envolves NTP and SNTP implementations. I work with LAN systems and protocols that needs 1milisecond of precision(not resolution). I always use a GPS clock like Meinberg with Ethernet port to be my NTP/SNTP Server. The clients of this LAN are equipments in the same subnetwork and they are SNTP clients. So we have the hierarchical system:
GPS Meinberg Clock - NTP/SNTP Server (Stratum 0?) Equipments with SNTP client using the Stratum 0 Server It always worked very well but I want to know if I mix NTP Servers and Clients with SNTP client, It will give me precision in the end? Let's imagine the hierarchical system below: GPS Clock - NTP Server (Stratum 0?) Workstation - NTP Client and Server (Stratum 1?) Workstation - NTP/SNTP Client and Server (Stratum 2?) Equipments with SNTP client implemented using the Stratum 2 Server. The NTP algorithm will give the precision of 1ms in the end, to the SNTP Clients? I know that the first solution is better and to be sure of the answer, it will depends on the network traffic, CPU, OS, etc but in theory this solution works for 1ms precision? Thank you everybody Barelo _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
