Network Time Services

This system provides time synchronization services via the Network Time Protocol (NTP) as specified by the Internet Standard RFCs 1305 and 5905. The Network Time Protocol is a flexible, performant protocol that is designed to deliver accurate time from atomic clocks to billions of devices world-wide, from mobile devices right up to servers.
