On start, when servers are reachable and use the same polling interval,
wait for them to have the same reachability register (which corresponds
to the number of samples in sourcestats) before selecting one.
Local reference is now updated only when a new source is selected or
match_addr is equal to the selected source, match_addr 0 is no longer
treated specially.
Add new flag to source struct to indicate when source is selectable
(packets with good headers are received) and use a reachability
register for last 8 samples instead of the reachable flag. Source
drivers now provide only reachability updates.
Split test7 into two and to accumulate the sample require that all tests
pass, except the one which checks packet stratum is not higher than ours.
Also, don't mark the source as unreachable when only test4c fails.
Require that the ratio of the increase in delay from the minimum one in
the stats data register to the standard deviation of the offsets in the
register is less than maxdelaydevratio or the difference between
measured offset and predicted offset is larger than the increase in
delay. In the allowed delay increase is included also skew and maximum
clock frequency error.
maxdelaydevratio is 10.0 by default.
Instead of following skew changes, adjust polling interval so that the
number of measurements used in the regression algorithm remains close to
a target value. It can be configured with a new polltarget option
(6 by default).
Double the number of samples that are used in the runs test. E.g. with 64
samples in regression the runs test will be tried over the 64 samples and
up to 64 previous samples. The minimum number of samples in now 4.
This improves the response with low-mid jitters by about 50%.
Generate more values to allow regression with 128 samples. Possibly a
different approach was used to generate the values, or the previous table
was actually using 11% critical region and had an extra value in the
12th place.
