-====== Public NTP Servers ====== 
- 
-**REMEMBER** : Do NOT use burst or iburst against public NTP servers unless they are announced they accept it (e.g. don't use it against *.ntp.org servers). More details [[networking:ntp#burst_and_iburst|hre]]. 
- 
-  * There is a dedicated page to [[networking:ntp|general NTP]]. 
-  * There is a dedicated page to [[infoblox:ntp|Infoblox NTP]]. 
- 
-===== pool.ntp.org ===== 
-In most cases it's best to use pool.ntp.org to find an NTP server (or 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, etc if you need multiple server names). The system will try finding the closest available servers for you. ([[https://www.ntppool.org/zone/@|source]]) 
- 
-The number of active service in the geographic regions can be found [[https://www.ntppool.org/zone/@|here]]. 
- 
- 
-For the following list of NTP pools, you can use the following and/or prefix 0. or 1. or 2. or 3. to the FQDN 
-  * pool.ntp.org 
-  * africa.pool.ntp.org (54) 
-  * asia.pool.ntp.org (282) 
-  * europe.pool.ntp.org (2784) 
-  * north-america.pool.ntp.org (934) 
-  * oceania.pool.ntp.org (126) 
-  * south-america.pool.ntp.org (58) 
-  * <country code>.pool.ntp.org (e.g. uk.pool.ntp.org) 
-  * <distribution>.pool.ntp.org (e.g. ubuntu.pool.ntp.org. **NOTE** for these you need to prefix 0. or 1. or 2. or 3. to the FQDN) 
- 
- 
-===== NTP Servers ===== 
- 
-More specific are: 
-  * ntp0.ja.net (Stratum 1) 
-  * ntp1.npl.co.uk (Stratum 2) 
-  * time.cloudflare.com (Stratum 3) 
-  *  
-List of Stratum 1 servers 
-  * [[http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi|NIST]] 
-  * [[http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumOneTimeServers|ntp.org]] 
- 
-National Physics Laboratory hosts two public "Stratum 2" servers. This means their servers sync directly to atomic clocks. 
- 
- 
-**DO NOT** configure your system to use Google Public NTP together with non-leap-smearing NTP servers. e.g. do not combine Google NTP with Cloudflare NTP as they [[https://developers.cloudflare.com/time-services/ntp/usage|do not implement leap smearing]]. Smearing is used by Google, AWS, and Facebook NTP servers but not Cloudflare.

-More information on Google's NTP offering can be found [[https://developers.google.com/time/faq|here]]. Google 'smear' a leap second over the course of a the hour either side of the leap second. Do not mix NTP servers that 'smear' and NTP servers that do not 'smear'. 
- 
-Google uses its own NTP servers (see above) for its public DNS servers (see below). If you cannot configure multiple servers, ''time.google.com'' will automatically select an appropriate Google server nearby.
