No idea what you are asking, but pool.ntp.org is a huge bunch of volunteers
who provice their own ntp servers for the use of others. It meets no
compliance standards, and the uptime of volunteers is random, and certainly
not tracked. Note also that the quality of time served by random members of
pool.ntp.org is highly variable-- from tens of microseconds to hundreds of
milliseconds.
If you want to make sure that you have reliable service, set up your own set
ofservers, fed for example from a GPS-PPS source. If you are an organization
then you should also set up your own pool powerupcloud.pool.ntp.org.
for your clients to use, rather than making use of those volunteers.
ntp is a time source, not a secure environment.
So I think that the answer to your question is NO. And also that you are
confused about what ntp is.
