Welcome to the forum, @summer76527, and thanks for considering to add your server to the pool! > [@connatic](#): > > under-served zone As starting point on the topic of what some people call “under-served zones”, see, e.g., [this post](https://community.ntppool.org/t/network-i-o-timeout/3553/9), and the references therein. As one of my servers is affected by this as well, albeit to a _much_ lesser extent, I just [suggested an update](https://github.com/abh/ntppool/pull/242) to the pool’s code that I’ve been mulling for a while now. It does not solve the underlying issue, but _could_ help servers like yours or mine join the pool more easily (but no guarantees, obviously). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.ntppool.org/t/the-issue-of-ntp-requests-exceeding-bandwidth-load/3588)._
