TALLY CODES
The character in the left margin in the peers billboard, called the tally code, shows the fate of each association in the clock selection pro-
cess. Following is a list of these characters, the pigeon used in the rv command, and a short explanation of the condition revealed.
space reject
The peer is discarded as unreachable, synchronized to this server (synch loop) or outrageous synchronization distance.
x falsetick
The peer is discarded by the intersection algorithm as a falseticker.
. excess
The peer is discarded as not among the first ten peers sorted by synchronization distance and so is probably a poor candidate for fur-
ther consideration.
- outlyer
The peer is discarded by the clustering algorithm as an outlyer.
+ candidat
The peer is a survivor and a candidate for the combining algorithm.
# selected
The peer is a survivor, but not among the first six peers sorted by synchronization distance. If the association is ephemeral, it may
be demobilized to conserve resources.
* sys.peer
The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to the system variables.
o pps.peer
The peer has been declared the system peer and lends its variables to the system variables. However, the actual system synchronization
is derived from a pulse-per-second (PPS) signal, either indirectly via the PPS reference clock driver or directly via kernel interface.
