Field | Description |
---|---|
system peer
|
The current synchronization
source.
|
system peer mode
|
The mode of the association
between the system and the synchronization source. The association
can operate in one of the following modes as defined in RFC 1305:
symmetric
activesymmetric passiveclientserverbroadcast |
leap indicator
|
The two-bit code that
will be used to indicate the insertion of a leap second in the NTP timescale.
|
stratum
|
The quality level of
the system clock.
|
precision
|
A signed integer that
indicates the precision of the system clock.
|
root distance
|
The round-trip packet
delay to the primary reference source. The delay is measured in seconds.
|
root dispersion
|
The maximum error relative
to the primary reference source. The error is measured in seconds.
|
reference ID
|
The code that identifies
the current synchronization source.
|
reference time
|
The local time that
the system was last updated using NTP.
|
system flags
|
Indicates various communication
parameters between the system and the server. The possible flags
are as follows:
auth: Enables
the server to synchronize with unconfigured peers only if the peer has
been correctly authenticated using either public key or private
key cryptography.bclient: Enables
the server to listen for a message from a broadcast or multicast
server, as in the multicast client command with default address.calibrate: Enables
the calibrate feature for reference clocks.kernel: Enables
the kernel time discipline, if available.monitor: Enables
the monitoring facility.ntp: Enables
time and frequency discipline. In effect, this switch opens and
closes the feedback loop, which is useful for testing.pps: Enables the
pulse-per-second (PPS) signal when frequency and time is disciplined
by the precision time kernel modifications.stats: Enables the
statistics facility. |
jitter
|
The maximum amount of
fluctuation within the synchronization source due to random noise.
|
stability
|
The stability of the
clocking source in parts per million (ppm).
|
broadcastdelay
|
The round-trip delay
for broadcast messages in seconds.
|
authdelay
|
The round-trip delay
for authentication messages in seconds.
