Quoting the maker: "... Laureline is an embedded SNTP server that receives time from a GPS receiver in the form of a pulse-per-second (PPS) input as well as the usual serial data in whatever format it comes (NMEA, Oncore, TSIP, etc.). I call it SNTP and not NTP because time is served from GPS alone and no other NTP servers are consulted. However, laureline is perfectly suitable as a Stratum 1 reference for NTP and SNTP clients alike. ... Also onboard is a small VCXO which is disciplined by the microcontroller to precisely 10MHz using the GPS pulses, in effect making laureline a low-grade GPSDO. ...the rest of the magic is in software: observing the frequency of the local oscillator by way of incoming GPS pulses, calculating NTP time from the 70MHz timer when queried and handling network administrivia.” > and therefore I expect it to behave just like any other NTP server I should be more careful and avoid calling it an NTP server/appliance/etc. People should think of it as a network attached reference clock or a GPSDO that can respond to an NTP query. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
