ntpviz - Don't plot a line during data absence

> Why do we care?   Don't we still get a sample, of some sort, every X?

Yes if you look in rawstats.  No if you look in peerstats.  That was the 
whole point of this discussion.  (as well as good background)

It will also get occasional bogus breaks with the default maxpoll of 1024 
when the peer logic filters out several samples.


> Aren't reclocks local?  Thus no rtt?

The data from a refclock gets merged into the main flow.  It has to have some 
rtt.  0 seems like a good number.


> Is there anything to try in real plots.

You should setup a system using the pool.  That will give you lots of 
interesting data to look at.

If you setup a local known-good server (or several) to use it as a noselect 
server, you can compare the offset they see with its claimed offset.
