Interesting article on how Google has moved beyond NTP, with a mention of last year's leap second: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/11/google-spanner-time/
It would be interesting to have more details, since that article makes a lot of Google not using NTP and then proceeds to describe a network protocol that sounds exactly like NTP, down to how it distributes stratum zero clock sources to other systems in the same data center. So it's not clear exactly what they changed. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
