Which stratum is typical for a server that has established successful synchronization with an Internet time server?
  • A.
    1
  • B.
    3
  • C.
    7
  • D.
    10
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
A server that has established successful synchronization with an Internet time server typically would show a low stratum, somewhere between 2 and 5. Not 1, because that is for servers that are directly connected to a very reliable clock. Not 7, because that means there are many other servers between this server and the time source. Not 10, because that is the default stratum for a server that uses its local clock for synchronization.
