Further examples of NTP

This example demonstrates the use of ntpq and xntpdc to list the servers that chicago.mynet.com is currently polling. The server marked with an asterisk (*) is the one that chicago is currently synchronizing with. chicago is also listening for broadcast packets on the subnet with IP address 132.147.246, but no packets are currently being broadcast there. Note the difference in the units used by ntpq and xntpdc to display delay, offset, and dispersion. The former uses milliseconds, whereas the latter uses seconds.
