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
Armin Wittmann
