Actually, I tried that some time back, but it didn't help a bit. I eventually came to understand that "xleave" mode is designed to reduce the effect of processing delays inside a server's network stack. Sadly, it doesn't do a thing to alleviate asymmetries. Indeed, my current impression (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) is that NTP is *inherently incapable* of measuring (or even detecting) network latency asymmetries -- the NTP protocol assumes that traffic "comes" and "goes" with equal speed, and it has no way to detect situations in which this is not true. -- Rich Wales / ri...@richw.org / ri...@stanford.edu Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Richwales Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/richwales _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
