On a tangential note, it's all very nice to say "We have brand X and like them", but I'd be curious to hear from folks who have deployed at least four divergent brands with non-overlapping GPS chip sets and software [*] to keep a conspiracy of errors from causing the time to suddenly be massively incorrect. Not that this has ever happened in the past in a single vendor configuration [cough]. Along the same lines I'm troubled by the lack of divergent sources these days - everything seems slaved to GPS either directly or indirectly (might be nice to have stuff out there that got its time exclusively via Galileo or Glonass). The sole exception that I can think of offhand is that I have an office within ground wave of WWVB, which would be a tasty ingredient. GOES is gone. LORAN is defunded. And so it goes; all our eggs are in one basket. I've thought about posting this request to the NTP developers list, but maybe someone who's an operator and actually cares about keeping the byzantine generals sequestered from each other has solved this problem recently. Clues? -r [*] to the extent possible; I'm sure that there's a lot of reference implementation DNA floating around out there) Berry Mobley <berry () gadsdenst org> writes:
We have symmetricom (now microsemi) and are very happy with them, but we use the roof mounted gps antennas. They will peer with public ntp severs if that would work for you.

Would ideally need to be able to handle bursts of up to a few thousand simultaneous queries. Needs IPv6 support. Thanks!
