we know have both a "server" and "servers" keyword. they differ when the
hostname resolves to more than one IP, server picks one and servers expands
to all.
that means no longer stuffing a sockaddr_storage into ntp_peer but a pointer
to a linked list of ntp_addr structs.
in the "servers" case the list of n addresses returned by host() is expanded
into n ntp_peer structs and thus n individual peers.
in the "server" case the whole list is attached to ntp_peer, and whenever we
do not receive a reply in time we traverse the list one further, so that
hosts with both AAAA and A records are first tried with the AAAA one but
we gracefully fall back to the A one.
semantics with theo; hacked up on the Montreal->Frankfurt flight.
again Air Canada surprised me, that older 767 hat pretty decent seats.
fixes the dns resolves to v4 and v6 addresses bug found by phessler
hacked on the Calgary->Montreal flight that proved that Air Canada _does_
have some modern aircrafts with good seats
* Respond to the query with a reasonable received time (which
will help clients get better accuracy).
* Consolidate the server response code in preparation for a
completely 'proper' response to the client.
tips and ok from henning@
struct ntp_addr, which just wraps a sockaddr_storage and a next pointer,
so that host_dns can return more than one entry.
let host_dns do exactly that, return a list of all IPs for that hostname
adjust all callers in the grammar to cope with that
a lot of credit for not having supplied us with enough data within an
adjtime run interval, and get a little credit each time we get a good
reply packet. if a peer is below 20%, only send a packet occasionally to
see wether it is back. send out queries much more often between 20 and 80%
to (re-)sync quickly, and above 80% usethe regular interval.
do not use peers < 60% for calculating teh local clock offset.
designed with theo at the pho, alexander ok
form the last 8 replied received from a peer, find the one with the lowest
delay. Use that as the peer's update taken into account for calculating
the local clock's offset.
Invalidate that reply and all ones received earlier than it so that they do
not get used again.
