Feedback: Why is my NTP Server costing me $500 per year?

It’s an interesting idea to try putting an order of magnitude cost on the system.

The total “netspeed” for the US zone is 86798173 (“kbps”), so one 1 gbps system should get a little over 1% of the US SNTP traffic (and the same amount of new NTP traffic).

If the cost for all that traffic was similar to what you saw, that’s about $64,000 per year just for the US.
