The NTP definition of stratum is different from that used in the
telecommunications domain.  The primary feature of a NTP stratum 0 clock
is the ability to generate accurate pulse per second signals, hence
calling them reference clocks.  It should be noted that in NTP, stratum
0 clocks are *not* NTP servers, they are the source of time information
to stratum 1 servers that serve time via NTP.
