For 99.99% of application stratum 2 or 3 suffice. Stratum 1 servers are primarily meant for applications which really, really need an accurate timebase, because if everyone used stratum 1 servers they would be overloaded and ruin the accuracy for everyone. A good rule of the thumb is to sync with a stratum 1 server only if you are a server providing service a large network or to about 10 other NTP servers. > If you have any = > information regarding this, it would be really appreciated if you could = > inform me on this.

Dear Sir, On searching over in net about NTP Time Servers , I came across your page.Pardon me for this unwanted intrusion. You seemed to me the same way excited about the Time Servers as myself. The page lists some Get-Time Servers, but mostly these servers are of Stratum 2 or 3. Do you have any information about primary stratum 1 Time Servers operating in India and what or where is the Reference clock situated. If you have any information regarding this, it would be really appreciated if you could inform me on this. Thanking you. ************************************************* R.S.V.P MR.
