[[NTP]] プロバイダや、ルータのメーカに NTP サーバについて問い合わせるときは、以下のテンプレートを使うと良い塩梅。 しかし、''既に同じような問い合わせを誰かしていないか、[[スレ>../スレッド]]で先に確認しましょう''。 #contents *ISPへの問い合わせ用テンプレ [#h28df6e0] Dear user-support, In Japan, an overload problem (*1) of a certain NTP server is getting into a news on some of the web news sites and so on. And they say that the NTP servers of ISPs should be used instead of it. (*1) http://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/0501/21/news059.html (in Japanese) This *1 article means: ===== "The NTP server of Fukuoka University seems to be embarrassed" - Fukuoka University server, the originator of the NTP server (for use of time-setting) [in Japan], is embarrassed because of an intensive access concentration. Let's review the setting of your time-setting software etc. - Increasing the access to the "clock.nc.fukuoka-u.ac.jp" at Fukuoka University, the originator of the NTP(Network Time Protocol) server [in Japan] used for time-setting of PC and so on, its manager gets annoying. According to the content written in the "Time setting thread" [http://pc5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/linux/1008318869/500-] of the "2-channel" [a gigantic BBS of Japan] with the name of the assistant professor of this university "Tsuruoka, Tomoaki", the access to this server goes up to 900 times per second, and it consumes up to 2Mbps of the bandwidth of the university's access line. Its host address is said to be embeded in some ADSL modems. [cf. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/netgear-sntp/] It is recommended that the MS-Windows PCs, for instance, should access to the servers of ISPs for the good load-balancing. Afterwards, an NTP server list of each ISP [http://pc5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/linux/1008318869/568] was published in this thread. The NTP server of Fukuoka University has been started in 1993, and the various time-setting software and so on have been using it as the default NTP server. However, the accuracy lowers when accessing server from the [network-ly] distance in principle. So you should better access to the [network-ly] nearby NTP server. The user who is using the time-setting software resident or the native NTP client function of the Windows should better to review the setting of the server once. ===== So all ISPs including your ISP might take it into consideration of installing NTP servers for use of your ISP's users. Please examine for it. Thanking you in anticipation. *ルータ等メーカへの要望テンプレ [#vbc17438] *ウェブ記事管理者への要望テンプレ [#vee07770] *時刻合わせソフトウェア開発者への要望テンプレ [#j5788919] *書籍等出版社等への要望テンプレ [#g0bc356a]
