Table 4-6. NTPd Associations Parameters
Parameter Description
Remote The domain name or IP address of the remote end of the NTP association.
"Hardware Clock" is the SyncServer's Hardware Clock. In the case of a remote
NTP connection, this will be the IP address of the remote end.
The character in the left margin indicates the mode in which this peer entry is
operating:
(space) reject
The peer is discarded as unreachable, synchronized to this server (synch
loop) or outrageous synchronization distance.
x = falsetick
The peer is discarded by the intersection algorithm as a falseticker.
,(period) = excess
The peer is discarded as not among the first ten peers sorted by
synchronization distance and so is probably a poor candidate for further
consideration.
- (minus) = outlier
The peer is discarded by the clustering algorithm as an outlier.
+ (plus) = candidate
The peer is a survivor and a candidate for the combining algorithm.
# (pound sign) = selected
The peer is a survivor, but not among the first six peers sorted by
synchronization distance. If the association is ephemeral, it may be
demobilized to conserve resources.
* (asterisk) = sys.peer
The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to the
system variables.
o = pps.peer
The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to
thesystem variables. However, the actual system synchronization is derived
from a pulse-per-second (PPS) signal, either indirectly via the PPS reference
clock driver or directly via kernel interface.
