The scenario in Figure 26-6 shows the creation of a loop:
1. From the node that is labeled Stratum 8, proceed to the NTP node that is labeled
Stratum 9.
2. From the NTP node that is labeled Stratum 9, continue to the node that is labeled
Stratum 10.
3. DTS then feeds the time back to the node that is labeled Stratum 8, creating a loop.
If this occurs, time in the NTP and DTS subnetwork can drift from UTC.
