Network Time Protocol (NTP)

-Basic Concepts-

Ed. 1.2 22/01/2007 BIGR

Slide 5

Oscilloquartz 2007

What is NTP?
NTP is a system for the distribution

of time to computers via a data

communications network
NTP is an IETF (Internet Engineering

Task Force) standard (RFC1305)

NTP time is referenced to UTC

(Universal Time Coordinated) via

GPS Satellites
It ensures a timestamps accuracy

less than 100 microseconds

Ed. 1.2 22/01/2007 BIGR

Slide 6

Oscilloquartz 2007

NTP System Architecture

The timeservers hierarchy is classed as Stratum
Hierarchical master-slave tree topology with NTP

servers (root and nodes) and NTP clients (leaves)

Stratum Levels indicate hop count from the root
Stratum 1 server (root) synchronized by wire or radio
to a national standard clock, or caesium clock
calibrated with reference to a national standard clock
Multiple Stratum 1 servers possible
Active paths: used to discipline the local clocks
Backup paths: time-stamps are exchanged but not
used to discipline the local clocks

NTP Client Software

In many cases, the client software is already

resident in the operating system of the workstation,

server or router.
In other cases, it is available as freeware, shareware

or inexpensive applications on the Internet.

In all cases, you have access to the open source

client software available at http://www.ntp.org for

Unix-type platforms.
