The guaranteed bound is the most the time could be off if every network delay were lopsided. The observed figures show how closely independent paths actually agree, which is usually a far better guide to real accuracy but is not a guarantee. The stated accuracy of time.sshlab.net is ±100 ms; the clock shown on this page is also limited by your own connection.

The server only adjusts its time when at least three NIST/USNO sources agree. time.ross and time.lan are independent Z&D servers it watches as a cross-check but never takes time from.

Time served is kept within ±100 ms of UTC, traceable to NIST and USNO; if that cannot be assured the status above shows unsynchronized. Free for public use on a best-effort basis, with no guarantee of availability. Please poll no more often than once every 64 seconds; clients that poll too fast are rate-limited. No client addresses are published here.
