- In RFC1119 there is a small discussion regarding loops where it is stated
- that loops are bad. I assume that it is speaking in reference to a group
- of NTP servers all peered to one another.
-
- My questions are: What are loops? Why are they bad? If I had a group of
- four (4) servers all peered to each other is that bad? (In this case each
- of the four are servers to a primary source.)
