If it uses all of them, what is the difference between "*" and "+"? It still doesn't explain why the disconnected clock doesn't get dropped. >> the clock (Spectracom) changes its stratum from 1 to 16 after a delay, and >If it remains the best choice it could take up to 8192 seconds before >all the samples are flushed from the FIFO and it becomes completely >ineligible.
