From: Haavard Eidnes <uunet!idt.unit.no!he> [. . .] In-Reply-To: Your message of Mon, 25 Feb 91 17:15:38 EST Message-Id: <CMM.0.88.667557342.he@garm.idt.unit.no> Status: R But do any of you know enough about DTS to say if (and how) a DTS subnet could use NTP as its external clock source? Sort of "the revenge of NTP"... While I'm not sure about the DTS implementation from DEC, the OSF offering will most likely provide a gateway between the two, i.e. a listener to NTP which will convert its numbers into a confidence interval. There may be some issue with redistribution, as DTS uses an ever increasing confidence interval as the measure of accuracy and the prevention of loops, while NTP uses a fixed stratum approach to preventing loops in the synchronization mesh. mark
