A.
“Stratum 0 devices (including atomic and gps clocks) are the most accurate, but cannot be connected to via a network connection. A Stratum 0 device is usually used as a reference clock (or synchronisation source) for a Stratum 1 time server.
Stratum 1 devices are the most accurate ntp time sources accessible via a network connection. A Stratum 1 device would normally be synchronised via a Stratum 0 reference clock.”
