Yup, that would be correct. That why, when you have one peer reset and it’s clock is 1993 or 2000 for a year, it takes a REALLY long time to sync up, and screws everyone else up in the process!

So they’ll eventually agree on a time more or less in the middle? One would eventually jump ahead (in 2 minute increments max) and the other would jump back 30 minutes or so?

With peers, nobody has authoritative time. That means, you might think it’s 1pm and I may think it’s 2pm, but we have no idea who is right so BOTH of us will adjust our time (max of 2 minutes each jump) until we finally compromise.
With client/server, the server actually has the authority, so clients will jump their time no matter how far off it is.

Hello, I went through the documentation to identify what is the difference between NTP server and NTP peer statements. The only difference I could find is that ntp peer allows both hosts to sync with each others while ntp server allows the host only to sync with the time server. THe question is when should i use the peer and when should I use the server when the question specifies to sync with BB1? Thanks for the calrification, Regards,
