So it happened again yesterday, one of the boxes talking to the rasPi
1B+ got thrown off again:

A while later (after another poll) I logged into and ran ntpmon in
detail mode on the corresponding peer:

So again, a rate_exceeded event is logged and hpoll has moved up to 10.
Note that both ntpq and ntpmon show the poll interval still as 16s and
full reachability, which isn't true.  Also, looking at the peer stats
you'll see that the effective poll interval actually changes once in a
while.  1024s is slightly above 17 minutes, but the distance betwee
successful pols that get recorded in peerstats is often larger than
that:

(one xtick in the plot is 15 minutes).

Achim.
