Stratum timeservers edit

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This information was on stratum (disambiguation):

The term stratum is also used in other areas like stratum time servers, in this case stratum indicates the importance of this time server over an other same purpose server. Usually the stratum level is used to indicate whether clients or servers are intended to use these as their time source.

I did not really understand it because it was vaguely incoherent, and I have no technical knowledge. However, I moved the material, as it seems more appropriate here. I also rewrote it in an attempt to make it more comprehensible. However, since I know nothing about the subject, I'm not sure if it was right in the first place, I may have inadvertently made a mistake. I rephrased it thus:

The term "stratum" is sometimes used to distinguish stratum time servers. The stratum indicates the place of a particular time server in a hierarchy of servers. The stratum level is typically used to indicate whether clients or servers are intended to use that machine as their time source.

If anyone has any technical knowledge, please review the information and delete it or modify it as appropriate. OneVeryBadMan 12:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
