Mention dynamic allocation of NTP servers on Network requirements docs

Open jellyfish-bot opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

[vipulgupta2048] NTP / UDP packets (port 123) are exchanged with:

0.resinio.pool.ntp.org 1.resinio.pool.ntp.org 2.resinio.pool.ntp.org 3.resinio.pool.ntp.org

We should mention that the resinio.pool.ntp.org is a pool dynamically allocated NTP servers so when opening UDP port 123 they cannot restrict it to one domain.

Hey @cmfcruz or @ab77 Can you folks confirm this statement and if yes, can we add this to the documentation. If they is not a exhaustive list I think we could change this to provide more accurate information. Let me know.

resinio.pool.ntp.org doesn't resolve to anything for me @vipulgupta2048, so you may want to check with the OS team.

We should mention that the resinio.pool.ntp.org is a pool dynamically allocated NTP servers so when opening UDP port 123 they cannot restrict it to one domain.

As @ab77 said, resinio.pool.ntp.org does not resolve to anything, but *.resinio.pool.ntp.org cannot be pinned to specific addresses if that's what you mean?

$nslookup resinio.pool.ntp.org                     
Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53
