Back

They are highly accurate time sources like atomic clocks

Front

How does an NTP client determine the best time source to synchronize with?

Back

By choosing the server with the lowest stratum number

Front

What is the main function of an NTP server in the client-server model?

Back

To provide time information to clients

Front

Back

Stratum 2

Front

What is the maximum stratum level defined in the NTP protocol?

Back

Stratum 16

Front

In the NTP client-server model, what happens if a client cannot reach its configured NTP server?

Back
