I have a small network of Windows XP (64 bit) running simulations, with NTPv4 running on all the boxes and using a GPS-based timeserver on the company network. The ping time to the server is 2 milliseconds from my desk, but I'm seeing random time errors of order plus/minus 5 to 10 milliseconds, based on loopstats data.
This level of timesynch error is OK for the simulation, but still that's a lot of error. I get far better on big UNIX boxes. The question is if this level of error is reasonable, given the setup. I know that timekeeping under Windows is not optimum, but cannot change the OS, so the question is if I have gotten things as good as they can be, or should I dig deeper. One thing that comes to mind is to raise the priority of the NTP daemon to exceed that of the simulation software. Thanks in advance, Joe Gwinn _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
