Hans-G?nter@25006 | 1 This distribution is an implementation of RFC-5905 |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 2 "Network Time Protocol Version 4: Protocol and Algorithms |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 3 Specification". |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 4 NTP is widely used to synchronize a computer to Internet |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 5 time servers or other sources, such as a radio or |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 6 satellite receiver or telephone modem service. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 7 It can also be used as a server for dependent clients. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 8 It provides accuracies typically less than a millisecond |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 9 on LANs and up to a few milliseconds on WANs. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 10 Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 11 servers and diverse network paths in order to achieve |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 12 high accuracy and reliability. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 13 |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 14 This distribution includes a simulation framework in which |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 15 substantially all the runtime NTP operations and most |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 16 features can be tested and evaluated. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 17 This has been very useful in exploring in vitro response |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 18 to unusual circumstances or over time periods impractical |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 19 in vivo. |
Hans-G?nter@25006 | 20 Details are on the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Simulator page. |
