The following example shows the output from the ntptrace command:
| |
% ntptrace
localhost: stratum 4, offset 0.0019529, synch distance 0.144135
server2.bozo.com: stratum 2, offset 0.0124263, synch distance 0.115784
usndh.edu: stratum 1, offset 0.0019298, synch distance 0.011993, refid 'WWVB'
|
On each line, the fields are (left to right):
- The server's host name
- The server's stratum
- The time offset between that server and the local host (as measured by ntptrace; this is why it is not always zero for localhost)
- The host's synchronization distance
- The reference clock ID (only for stratum-1 servers)
All times are given in seconds. Synchronization distance is a measure of the goodness of the clock's time.
