Peering is kind of a misnomer... In terms of ntp, a peer is simply the server you get time from. It's NOT bidirectional unless the time server you get time from has been told to get time from you.
That's a bit different from what it says here and elsewhere: http://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/08.0.80/fastiron-08080-managementgui... My understanding, as in that article, is the peers backup each other, while getting their time from a better source. For example, you can buy GPS receiver/NTP stratum 1 servers. You could then peer multiple of these. They'd normally get their time from the stratum 0 GPS receiver and provide stratum 1 to the network. However, if the GPS receiver fails, then the stratum 1 server will get it's time from another. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
