I hadn't considered the degenerate case. However, if one looks at the key selling points for orphan mode, in the documentaion, one finds that they all depend on having multiple orphans at the same stratum: > There are many disadvantages using the local clock driver: multiple > source redundancy is not possible and the subnet is vulnerable to > single-point failures. Orphan mode is intended to replace the need for If it really has benefits in contexts where there is only one orphan mode server, the documentation needs amending to mention them. Note two orphans at the same stratum aren't possible here, as the requirement included a strict precedence and two at different strata is another degenerate case. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
