Selecting an NTP Server
We recommend that you specify NTP pool servers appropriate for your geographic location.
Selecting a pool server means that you are specifying an alias that is assigned by the NTP Pool
Project to a list of time servers for a region. Thus, NTP pool servers are specified by geography.
The following table shows the naming convention for servers specified by continent:
•
Worldwide -
pool.ntp.org
•
Asia -
asia.pool.ntp.org
•
Europe -
europe.pool.ntp.org
•
North America -
north-america.pool.ntp.org
•
Oceania -
oceania.pool.ntp.org
•
South America -
south-america.pool.ntp.org
To use the continent-based NTP pool servers for Europe, for example, you could specify the
following pool servers in Equalizer’s time
Configuration
screen (tab):
0.europe.pool.ntp.org
1.europe.pool.ntp.org
2.europe.pool.ntp.org
You can also specify servers by country. So, for example, to specify a UK based time server pool,
you would use:
0.uk.pool.ntp.org
1.uk.pool.ntp.org
2.uk.pool.ntp.org
Or, for the US, you would use:
0.us.pool.ntp.org
1.us.pool.ntp.org
2.us.pool.ntp.org
Be careful when using country based NTP pool servers, since some countries contain a very
limited number of time servers. In these cases, it is best to use a mix of country and continent
based pool servers. If a country has only one time server, then it is recommended you use a time
server pool based in another nearby country that supports more servers, or use the continent
based server pools.
For example, Japan has 6 (six) time servers as of the date this document was published. The
organization that maintains time server pools recommends using the following to specify time
server pools for Japanese locations:
2.jp.pool.ntp.org
0.asia.pool.ntp.org
2.asia.pool.ntp.org
