Working With Several Servers - Gorgy Timing LEDI NETWORK TOP Série Mode D'emploi

On a LAN, it takes some milliseconds between the time when the client asks for the
date and the time when it receives the reply. This time is due to transmission delay
on the network. It can vary because of network load or NTP server load. Worse, the
transmission time from client to server is generally not the same that the one from the
server to client.
Actually, on a large period of time, the difference of sum of client-server and server-
client transmission delays is zero. The NTP client algorithm implemented in the LEDI
NETWORK TOP is designed to compensate transmission delay and to average the
measures.

1.1.3. working with several servers

The NTP client software has the ability to work with several NTP servers (up to 3 ser-
vers). When not enough reply is received from a server or this server doesn't reply or
reply too slowly, the NTP client software uses an other one.
