The following section describes the fields displayed using the ntppstat command.
remote host . The IP address of the host whose statistics you are viewing.
local interface . The local interface address assigned by NTP to the remote association. If this
address is 0.0.0.0 , then the local address has yet to be determined.
time last received . The number of seconds since the last NTP message packet was received
from another NTP entity in the network.
time until next send . The number of seconds until this NTP peer sends out an NTP message
packet.
reachability change . This field displays the number of times this client/server’s reachability has
changed.
packets sent . The number of NTP message packets this peer has sent out.
packets received . The number of NTP message packets this peer has received.
bad authentication . The number NTP message packets this peer has rejected due to failed
authentication.
bogus origin . The number of times a response packet from another NTP entity doesn’t match
the request packet sent out by this client/server.
duplicate . The number of identical NTP message packets this peer has received.
bad dispersion . The number of packets that were discarded due to overly large error disper-
sions.
bad reference time . The number of packets that were discarded because the contained refer-
ence time didn’t match the local peer expectation.
candidate order . A number that represents this client/server’s synchronization order. A lower
number represents a reliable synchronization source.
