In your example, each of the TI-x servers in fact has three sources of
synchronisation: the external (internet-based) server and the other two
TI-x servers.
Each of the TI-x servers applies the NTP algorithms (selection,
clustering/filtering, combining, discipline) and serves time to clients
and peers. Note that the time served by each server takes into account
(i.e. is a combination of) the time stamps received from all of the
survivors of the filtering algorithm (up to a maximum of 10, in ntpd at
least).
Cheers, Jan
