The /etc/ntp.conf file shows that NTP servers are being queried using iburst mode. This enables:

  • Sending a burst of three requests instead of one if the server is unreachable
  • Checking the closest server first
  • Speeding up of initial synchronization
  • Finding time even if the server is unreachable
