There is also some queuing delay at meow.febo.com, also known as febo.com or www.febo.com. Normally, messages are processed pretty quickly -- I usually see time-nuts postings within 15 or 20 seconds after the message hits the list -- but there can be delays if the machine is busy, and particularly if there are several list messages being processed in a short time span. There's also a retry delay if message delivery from febo.com to the next hop fails. The delay is something like an exponential backoff that can extend out to hours between retries; the system keeps trying to deliver a message for up to 4 days. And, for what it's worth, meow.febo.com is a stratum 2 NTP server that gets its time from one of my 4 internal stratum 1 servers (one each with system oscillator and PPS clock from GPSDO, WWVB, LORAN, and Cesium). http://www.febo.com/time-freq/ntp/stats/clients/index.html shows its performance as measured by the Cesium-based monitoring server.
