GAQM Exam CFA-001 Topic 2 Question 77 Discussion

Actual exam question for GAQM's CFA-001 exam

Question #: 77
Topic #: 2

An Internet standard protocol (built on top of TCP/IP) that assures accurate synchronization to the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of computers. Which of the following statement is true for NTP Stratum Levels?

AStratum-0 servers are used on the network; they are not directly connected to computers which then operate as stratum-1 servers

BStratum-1 time server is linked over a network path to a reliable source of UTC time such as GPS, WWV, or CDMA transmissions

CA stratum-2 server is directly linked (not over a network path) to a reliable source of UTC time such as GPS, WWV, or CDMA transmissions

DA stratum-3 server gets its time over a network link, via NTP, from a stratum-2 server, and so on

Aha! The answer is B. This is like a game of 'Time Synchronization Snakes and Ladders', and I just climbed the right ladder.

B. Stratum-1 time server is linked over a network path to a reliable source of UTC time. Simple and straightforward, just the way I like my networking protocols.

Okay, let's see... Stratum-0 is the big boss, Stratum-1 is the trusted sidekick, Stratum-2 is the network-savvy one, and Stratum-3 is the network-dependent sidekick. Got it!

I'm not sure, but I think stratum-0 servers are not directly connected to computers.

Hmm, this NTP stuff is like a time-traveling circus, with servers jumping from one stratum to another. I feel like I'm in a quantum physics lecture.

I agree with Shayne, a stratum-1 time server is linked to a reliable source of UTC time.
