-The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a
-computer client or server to another server or reference time source,
-such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem.
-
-It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs
-and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary
-server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global
-Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
-
-Typical NTP configurations utilize multiple redundant servers and diverse
-network paths, in order to achieve high accuracy and reliability.
-
-Some configurations include cryptographic authentication to prevent
-accidental or malicious protocol attacks.
