General • Re: Create a script to check Stratum 0/1 NTP servers with lower ping

Often using country.pool.ntp.org gives very acceptable results. country is 2-letter ISO country code (e.g. de for Germany). Most of servers are stratum 1 or stratum 2 and have to be open for use by everybody (that's policy to get server onto the list).

To help with configuring a few servers it's possible to prefix the name with N., where N is digit, usually between 0 and 3.

For example: to configure 3 distinct server, use

0.de.pool.ntp.org
1.de.pool.ntp.org
2.de.pool.ntp.org


Lowest ping doesn't matter either, NTP takes latency into account.
Indeed. What bothers NTP client is asymmetrical latency (i.e. when latency between client and server is signifficantly different than latency between server and client).
