I got an auto notice of problems with my server, and the graphs certainly do look dismal.

From what I see, my server is acting properly, but I don't really know what sort of diagnostic tools are available to me. Here is the result of ntpq -c 'rv 0' $ ntpq -c 'rv 0' assID=0 status=06f4 leap_none, sync_ntp, 15 events, event_peer/ strat_chg, version="ntpd 4.2.4p5-a Tue Jan 13 22:16:19 CST 2009 (1)", processor="i386", system="FreeBSD/7.1-STABLE", leap=00, stratum=3, precision=-19, rootdelay=566.555, rootdispersion=578.905, peer=12437, refid=17.151.16.22, reftime=cd24718e.09c98675 Fri, Jan 23 2009 10:40:46.038, poll=5, clock=cd24721c.da46d092 Fri, Jan 23 2009 10:43:08.852, state=4, offset=0.192, frequency=-41.686, jitter=145.186, noise=52.291, stability=5.242, tai=0 Every time I've checked in the last few hours, my offset has been less than 15ms. I don't know what are healthy ranges for jitter and stability, so I don't know if those give me any clue. I am getting time resets in my logs. I assume that these indicate that something is wrong. But again, I don't know where to look. (Log times are -06:00).

Nothing really changed on my system around the time of the wonkiness, but on another machine on the network, I did start using bittorrent (Transmission 1.50b1). It's setting are such that it isn't making more than a dent in my network traffic. But it's only serving about 10 peers, so I don't see how it could be confusing my router.
