It's not so much a question of clock error as the ability of NTP converging too slowly. If it could slew by more than 500PPM, than it could even avoid time steps, especially backwards.
It seems that being able to slew more than 500PPM is what makes Chrony perform so much better than NTP in adverse conditions. I'm starting to wonder if NTP actually stands for "standard (normal) temperature and pressure", to hint at its ideal conditions design... :-) _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
