I would say that this isn't a problem. Assuming the spikes when there would be the asymmetric delay are mostly sntp and ntpdate users (where high accuracy isn't as much of an issue) the error introduced by the delays aren't much of a problem. The actual ntp clients will compensate for this anomalous behavior with the continuing polls throughout the rest of the hour. Correct? sjm _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
