Luckily, we didn't actually have any long outage that helped us test the effectiveness of this. For short outages, that worked out good. To fully test this, I should probably create some four new servers and two or three clients, let them sync for ~ a week, then unplug the servers' cable and see what happens them diverge (of course, I'd enable stats on all the boxes). Unfortunately, I have not the capacity to do that currently (in terms of hardware needed, and time to set up such a test environment). > I am of the opinion that if feasible, NTP manycast is a better choice > than broadcast/multicast, Manycast is on the list of things to look at for the next design upgrade, so this is definitely something I am going to try out by the next 6-12 months!
