     1.4 +This distribution is an implementation of RFC-5905
     1.5 +"Network Time Protocol Version 4: Protocol and Algorithms
     1.6 +Specification".
     1.7 +NTP is widely used to synchronize a computer to Internet
     1.8 +time servers or other sources, such as a radio or
     1.9 +satellite receiver or telephone modem service.
    1.10 +It can also be used as a server for dependent clients.
    1.11 +It provides accuracies typically less than a millisecond
    1.12 +on LANs and up to a few milliseconds on WANs.
    1.13 +Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant
    1.14 +servers and diverse network paths in order to achieve
    1.15 +high accuracy and reliability.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +This distribution includes a simulation framework in which
    1.18 +substantially all the runtime NTP operations and most
    1.19 +features can be tested and evaluated.
    1.20 +This has been very useful in exploring in vitro response
    1.21 +to unusual circumstances or over time periods impractical
    1.22 +in vivo.
    1.23 +Details are on the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Simulator page.
