Well, no, standard advice for refclocks is exactly that. get the time every 16 sec. > It may not be causing your problems but but I doubt that it's > helping matters any! > > The NTP software should pick the best clock(s) from those offered!

The longer poll intervals will be used to "fine tune". Not really. The ntpd poll stretching is used to minimize the network traffic on ntp servers. That is not a problem here. Longer poll intervals are better (up to a point) for getting the rate of the local clock better, but it leaves the local time worse off. With pps you are better off getting the time right. A local refclock is not the same as a networked ntp server. > > > > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
