Re: ping time fluctuates, any idea?
It does fixes the problem, thanks for the help!

I would expect that setting: # sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=acpihpet0 would fix your ping results, and probably improve your ntpd(8) performance, too.

ping time fluctuates, any idea?
It seems that time from ping command fluctuates. Here's a output from ping command. # ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.058 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.035 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.047 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.050 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.047 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=0.052 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=255 time=0.051 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 ttl=255 time=0.034 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 ttl=255 time=0.054 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=9 ttl=255 time=0.052 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=10 ttl=255 time=0.035 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=11 ttl=255 time=0.051 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=12 ttl=255 time=0.033 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=13 ttl=255 time=0.048 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=14 ttl=255 time=0.053 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=15 ttl=255 time=0.049 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=16 ttl=255 time=0.050 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=17 ttl=255 time=0.051 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=18 ttl=255 time=587.470 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=19 ttl=255 time=0.047 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=20 ttl=255 time=0.063 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=21 ttl=255 time=0.066 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=22 ttl=255 time=0.052 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=23 ttl=255 time=0.055 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=24 ttl=255 time=0.035 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=25 ttl=255 time=0.034 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=26 ttl=255 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=27 ttl=255 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=28 ttl=255 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=29 ttl=255 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=30 ttl=255 time=0.058 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=31 ttl=255 time=0.059 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=32 ttl=255 time=0.058 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=33 ttl=255 time=0.057 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=34 ttl=255 time=0.055 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=35 ttl=255 time=-587.359 ms At first, I suspect that system time fluctuates for some reasons. To test it, I wrote a simple python scripts to detect local time changes. # cat test.py import time def milliseconds(): return int(round(time.time() * 1000)) prev = milliseconds() while True: cur = milliseconds() dt = cur - prev if dt < 0: print("prev=%s, cur=%s, diff=%s" % (prev, cur, dt)) prev = cur # python3 test.py I validated the script with `rdate` command, and it works as expected. However it does not print logs on ping time fluctuations. Any hint to troubleshoot the issue?
