Has anyone approached major ISPs about adding their routers to the pool? All of the core and edge routers run by my company's ISP (Qwest) provide stratum-3 or better NTP and keep good time. My home ISP (Comcast) also provides NTP from their edge routers. Getting all those resources into the pool would help dramatically, I think, and not cost the ISPs much at all. In fact, if geographic DNS could be made to work, it would actually cost the ISPs *less* in transit & peering traffic to add their routers into the pool than to not add them. -- RPM _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
