NTP: NTP Version4 (Installed: Version 4.2.8p8). Provides MD5, Stratum1 through 15 (RFC
5905). Note that NTP Autokey is currently not supported, for more information, see
http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3005.
NTP throughput: ETH0: 7000-7200 NTP requests per second; ETH1-ETH3 (1204-006-0600
GigabitEthernet option card 1-3): 8800-9000 NTP requests per second. For additional inform-
ation, please contact Spectracom.
Clients supported: The number of users supported depends on the class of network and the sub-
net mask for the network. A gateway greatly increases the number of users.
