Dear Hostmaster, dear network responsible
You are receiving this notification because devices in your network are using the
ntp-Service of swisstime.ethz.ch and you are among the most frequent users (several 10 MB
data per day). The usage of swisstime.ethz.ch has been increasing constantly over the
years and has reached a state that would require additional specialized hardware to
support the millions of sessions. The board of ICT-Services of ETH Zürich decided not to
spend this money for new devices but to block the access to the server in the near
future.
For this reason the Access Policy of swisstime.ethz.ch has been changed to "Closed
Access"
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/SwisstimeEthzCh
and you are kindly requested to use other ntp-Services provided by the internet for free
-
we recommend using the public ntp-Pool
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
We intend to block the access to swisstime.ethz.ch in June 2013.
Do not hesitate to contact me for further questions.
Kind regards

Hello Swinog,
I've just talked to Armin, who is not on the list. swisstime has, in the
last 20 years, become the single most used service at ETH. To keep up
with the current growth ETH would have to invest substantial funds into
the needed infrastructure.
20 years ago swisstime was a pioneering service. Today ntp services are
available from other high quality servers and so it was decided to stop
this ETH service for the public.
Cheers
Serge

Hi Serge
the service was very valuable over the last few years - or better: since the beginning of
the swiss internet. like you said: pioneering.
kind of a 'phaseout' of a well known, superbe service :)
but yes, there are other ressources (e.g. pool.ntp.org).
but I would like to thank also ETH for their service over the last years.
greetings
-steven

Hmm, isn't swisstime one of the required ntp time sources for the lawful
interception implementation?

Hi Claudio
Hmm, isn't swisstime one of the required ntp time
sources for the lawful
interception implementation?
Do you refer to: http://mathgen.ch/crypto/ch-ilets-regs2.pdf
(interesting to find this in the net with a confitential stamp on it)?
I think this is superseded by
which specifies ntp.metas.ch
Cheers
Serge
