			All Affiliated networks to AARNet are permitted to

	What are ntp servers?
	=====================

	A NTP server is a machine configured to provide accurate time
	stamps. This is done by talking to a number of other higher
	level servers and computing the drift and offset of the local
	hardware clock and correcting. This computation filters out
	obviously badd clocks.

	Stratum 1 servers are connected directly to a reliable source of
	UTC time. This could be a GPS reciever an ATOMIC clock or one of
	a number of radio clocks around the world providing broadcast
	time.

	Nifty.dap.CSIRO.AU is a SGI wired to a cesium clock.
