We’ve gotten used to the fact that the clocks on our internet-connected computers and smartphones are always telling the right time. Time servers, provided by a variety of government agencies as well ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...

NTP is one of the most interesting and important, but all too forgotten, protocols that makes the internet tick. Accurate clock synchronization is required for everything ranging from cryptography to ...

When the power is out, you need answers — fast. First, you’ll need precise details about what happened and when. The cause could be external or internal, and a single disturbance can initiate a series ...

You’d think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it’s actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.

Local clock inaccuracy is so miniscule as to not merit mention with respect to NTP. (around three orders of magnitude difference). Click to expand... For bare metal, yes. For virtual, no. Fire up ntpd ...

Facebook has taken a break from the election business to make a breakthrough in global synchronized timekeeping. The tech titan has compared the two leading time protocols used in networks and done a ...

Setting up a Unix system to be an NTP client is generally straightforward. On those Unix platforms that include NTP in the default configuration, you may only need to make a few adjustments to NTP’s ...
