Het pool.ntp.org project is een groot virtueel cluster van tijdservers die betrouwbare gemakkelijk te gebruiken NTP diensten leveren aan miljoenen clienten.
De pool wordt gebruikt door miljoenen of tientallen miljoenen systemen over de gehele wereld. Het is de standaard "tijdserver" voor de meeste belangrijke Linux distributies en vele van netwerkmogelijkheden voorziene apparaten. (zie informatie voor leveranciers).
Vanwege het grote aantal gebruikers is er behoefte aan meer servers. Als je beschikt over een server met een vast IP adres die altijd beschikbaar op het internet, overweeg dan om die toe te voegen aan het systeem.
Het project wordt beheerd en ontwikkeld door Ask Bjørn Hansen en een grote groep van belangstellenden op de mailinglijsten. De broncode is beschikbaar.
Hosting en bandbreedte voor de "hub" servers wordt op dit moment beschikbaar gesteld door Develooper en Phyber Communications.

How to Configure NTP for Use in the NTP Pool Project
Daniel Ziegenberg wrote a tutorial for Digital Ocean on configuring NTP for the NTP Pool on Ubuntu.
Oliver Nadler has another tutorial covering non-Ubuntu, too.

NTP Pool Forum
There’s a new forum for discussion related to the NTP Pool at community.ntppool.org. Please come join us. There are a couple interesting threads about the recent leap second and lots of empty space for your questions or suggestions. :-)
The NTP Pool mailing lists are generously hosted on lists.ntp.org on the Network Time Foundation infrastructure. Those servers moved this summer and it’s been a bit of “rough seas” since. Over the summer hundreds of people got unsubscribed because mail deliveries were failing and the lists were bouncing all mails for a while in the second half of December.
We’ll keep having the mailing list, too. In particular for people new to the project having us build out the new forum will be better (search, better access to archives, getting more mail in your email inbox is optional, etc).
Happy new year!

Excessive load on NTP servers
Since last Tuesday some countries have seen an excessive number of queries to the NTP Pool.
After much detective work on nanog (conclusion) and the #NTP IRC channel it was determined to be a buggy Snapchat app update.
Hopefully the Snapchat developers will fix it soon (and sign up for a vendor zone!).
(Yes, the first link is to a new forum).

Equipment failure
A network switch failed causing an outage for the management system and the NTP Pool website. The DNS and NTP services should only be minorly affected, even if the outage lasts a little while.
I’ll update status website with updates.

NTP Best Current Practices
The IETF has published a new version of NTP Best Current Practices documenting learned best practices on how to run NTP servers and clients.
If you know a little about the NTP protocol reading it will be a quick way to learn more about how it works “in the wild” (including on your own systems).
Some of it is specific to the “reference” ntpd implementation, but much of it will apply to other clients or servers, too.
