The fastest growing device (and for many many people the only) segment is mobile. They don't use NTP pool* resources. Apple devices use Apple servers (slowly). I expect most mobile devices get time from the mobile network (I don't know about random other tablets). I have appliances that use NTP. Some point to specific places, some use pool, some use DHCP and some let you specify via a web page. I don't think the future is the past where a few thousand misconfigured SOHO routers escape into the wild and grind someone down. It may not be fair to exclude zillions of machines using bootleg copies of windows but I do. > In an idea world we would have lots & lots of S1 and S2 servers all around the world, and all the clients would use 'pool' to automatically detect the best servers to connect to. In my ideal world the GPS everyone is carrying around would be an SNTP server for that person. *I still don't really understand the original question but perhaps it was about pool.ntp.org. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
