 A common configuration for private networks includes one or more core

 For example, consider the peer network configuration in Figure 1, where
 two or more campus primary or secondary (stratum 2) servers are

 that loses all sources continues to discipline the system clock using

-Figure 2. Orphan Broadcast Configuration

-For broadcast networks each core server is configured in both broadcast
-server and broadcast client modes as shown in Figure 2. Orphan children
-operate as broadcast clients of all core servers. As in peer networks,
-the core servers back up each other and only they and the orphan
-children need to be enabled for orphan mode.
-
-In normal operation subnet hosts operate below stratum 5, so the subnet
-is automatically configured as described in the NTP specification. If
-all UTC sources are lost, all core servers become orphans and the orphan
-children will select the same core server to become the orphan parent.
