Welcome back, Nick! And a big thanks to Ask for making the pool status so transparent. It's definitely nice to see how we are doing. My average ntp requests are creeping up somewhere between Nick's (35% growth is OK) and Wayne's (400%+ growth is needed). There is an ebb and flow to these things, but my average requests have gone up a bit this year. The peaks, however, are a different matter entirely. In our current implementation, AFAICT, the peaks that occur while you are in the DNS pool are strictly a function of pool users, not servers. With more servers, the peaks become more infrequent, but the max request rate gets ever higher. I don't track the max peak long term, but I have seen many over 60/sec lately and quite a few over 80/sec. The peaks get flattened for the long-term plots: http://www.dayww.net/ntpstats/requests.php I just worry that this may be too much for our lower-bandwidth members. ~ Dave _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
