■Offset—Difference, with the lowest dispersion in the sample buffer, between
the system’s clock and the server’s clock
■Disp.—Lowest measure, in the sample buffer, of the error associated with
the peer offset, based on the peer delay

â– Field descriptions
■Peer—IP address of server, status of the server: configured, master, selected,
candidate, correct, or unusable
■configured—Confirmation that you assigned this NTP server to the
system
■master—System has chosen this server as the master
■selected—System will consider this server when it chooses the master
■candidate—System may consider this server when it chooses the master
■correct—System considers the server’s clock to be reasonably correct
■unusable—Server does not meet the initial criteria for the master
■stratum—Number of hops between the server and its stratum 1 server
■Peer is a Broadcast/Configured Server—Type of NTP server: one that
broadcasts NTP messages or one you have configured for NTP services
■version—Version of NTP on the server
■polled every—Time between NTP requests from the system to the server
■polls every—Time between NTP requests from the server to its NTP
servers
■Root Delay—Round-trip time between the server and its stratum 1 root
server
■Root Dispersion—Measure of all the errors associated with the network
hops and servers between the server and its stratum 1 server
