I find that large Turkish and and German providers are appently using the pool to set the time on the customer routers they distribute. This leads to a large number of different systems that each query the time only once or a few times. The request peaks tend to be considerable, probably due to the relatively static content of the DNS zone (they all get the same timeservers at some point in time).
When looking in the "ntpdc -c monlist" output it is clearly visible that there are these one-time users (with a german dsl domain, a .ttnet.net domain, an unresolved 88.* address) and a separate class of users that keep syncing at (more or less reasonable) intervals. (fortunately those routers do not keep coming back every minute or so, or there would be a lot more traffic) Rob _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
