Time information from different sources may be inconsistent.
If an IT system uses multiple NTP servers to adjust its system clock, the time information from these servers may be different. As soon as the time information deviates beyond the corresponding tolerance, the IT system may no longer be able to determine which time information is correct. This may result in the system time being adjusted incorrectly.
