I've been informed by the folks with the ability to do a laying-on of hands with this system have run an experiement where they disabled NTP and indeed no longer see the 600 millisecond time shifts.
If there are indeed somewhat common 600 millisecond time steps, doesn't that suggest that NTP is having rather a difficult time getting time synchronized? I've since looked at more of my packet trace and see instances of the entries going backwards in time by 10s and even scores of seconds. I suspect there is a second thing going on there, particularly as what I see is akin to: Time.microsomething Time.microsomethingelse back 20 seconds Time.microstillelse back 20 seconds forward That is, just the one entry in the packet capture log there is 20 seconds back from the ones before and after it. rick jones -- portable adj, code that compiles under more than one compiler these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
