When I started in the pool with my server hosted in the state (Around 14 months ago), the traffic was limited, but over time the traffic has had a dramatic increase.
Normal traffic load has slowly gone up, but we can handle that for many years to come, if it wasn't for one thing, it seems that spikes dramatically rises in effect. As the TTN case has shown, spikes kills participation way before normal load starts worrying people, my pool server is not a power house and I'm wondering when my system will start failing (maybe it already has?) handling spikes, so I'm also concerned we will start to break on spikes and that will give us a bad reputation. My logs isn't all that old. General ntp stats: http://www.arcdraco.net/ntpstats/ntp_stats.txt File that better illustrate spikes: http://www.arcdraco.net/ntpstats/pool_stats.log Format: Date Time ClientInPool Abusive PoolListing 08/09/07 12:15:02 5235 15 0 I'm not sure if the script generating pool_stats.log is broken, it's never detected that my system has been in the pool, so it's possible that all my spikes is all related to my system being in the 'spike' pool and the ongoing effort with DNS will address this. If the spikes is all related to pool time, then my system seems to get a lot more pool time than it has in the past for some reason.
