Hi everyone,
I've added something that should help servers on small bandwidth
significantly.
If you login to the manage page - http://www.pool.ntp.org/manage -
and set the netspeed of your server to something less than 1Mbit the
server will be removed from the global pool.
At least while testing I didn't do this retroactively for servers
already set with a lower netspeed.
I am still planning to have the DNS system weigh servers with more
bandwidth higher, but this should help until then.
A good number of servers have left recently because of the traffic
(overloading a small DSL or too high charges for those paying for
traffic, for example some DSL users in .au) and I'd rather have them
stay and serve fewer users than just leave.
Btw, this is also why I added a graph for "total number of servers"
separate from the "global pool" a few days ago:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@
- ask
ps. thanks everyone for the feedback on the recommended servers thing
on the zone pages. I am going to write up a "information for
vendors" page and add a URL to get a text/plain file with just the
server list.
