We use our one of our data centers internal default gateway (Router).
Everything feeds off of that.
It had best work well. It was $100K +.
So what benefit is that $100K extra stratum gaining you? It has to be
more than just splitting the UDP/IP path to the lower stratum servers
in twain. But it's not reliability, because if your router goes down
it still takes your NTP server with it. So what is it? Do you perhaps
synchronize everything with that machine directly, without the usual
Windows Time Service hierarchy in between?
Perhaps your cheap router (and I'm saying this because you mentioned
as few posts ago) has redundant hardware like these one have, or
perhaps your backplane (BTW: do you know what backplane your router
has??!!) supports the amount of traffic that these ones supports, or
perhaps can active support with low SLAs or perhaps you can have
redundant configuration, or perhaps... Ops... I just noticed, perhaps
you don't have a clue what I'm talking about!!!
What you're talking about has nothing to do with the questions that I
asked M. Bergson, or even with what M. Bergson said that prompted them.
Please actually follow the conversation. We're talking about the extra
stratum, here, not routing.
