NTP

&pagelevel(3)&pagelevel

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) allows a reference time (Universal Coordinated Time, UTC) to be distributed in a network and ensures that clocks are synchronized in networks of any size.

Time servers are in a hierarchical relationship to each other, with secondary time servers receiving their time over the network from a primary time server. For feeding the UTC time into the network it is advisable to equip a server with a radio-controlled hardware clock that receives a time signal generated by an atomic clock. A BS2000 server can carry out the function of a precise time server or client.
