In general, best accuracy is obtained by using servers that have a low
network latency.

The
.Ic trusted
keyword indicates the server is connected closely on a secure network such that
NTP packets cannot be injected as man-in-the-middle attacks.
NTP packets from these servers are considered truthful without validation
