2.2 NTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a procedure described in RFC 5905 for time
synchronization in the network.
On the basis of a reference time source, NTP defines hierarchy levels for
time servers and clients. A hierarchy level is known as a “stratum”. Devices
of the 1st level (stratum
1
) synchronize themselves directly with the reference
time source and make the time information available to clients of the 2nd
level (stratum
2
). A GPS receiver or a radio-controlled clock can serve as the
reference time source.
The NTP client in the device evaluates the time information of several servers
and adjusts its own clock continuously to attain a high level of accuracy. If
you also configure the device as an NTP server, it distributes time information
to the clients in the subordinate network segment.
