Figure 1-1 Working principle of NTP
The procedures of synchronizing system clocks are as follows:
z LS_A sends an NTP packet to LS_B, with the timestamp identifying the time
when it is sent (that is, 10:00:00am, noted as T
1
) carried.
z When the packet arrives at LS_B, LS_B inserts its own timestamp, which
identifies 11:00:01am (noted as T
2
) into the packet.
z Before this NTP packet leaves LS_B, LS_B inserts its own timestamp once again,
which identifies 11:00:02am (noted as T
3
).
z When receiving the response packet, LS_A inserts a new timestamp, which
identifies 10:00:03am (noted as T
4
), into it.
At this time, LS_A has enough information to calculate the following two parameters:
z The delay for an NTP packet to make a round trip between LS_A and LS_B:
delay = (T
4
-T
1
)-(T
3
-T
2
).
z The time offset of LS_A with regard to LS_B: offset = ((T
2
-T
1
) + (T
3
-T
4
))/2.
LS_A can then set its own clock according to the above information to synchronize its
clock to that of LS_B.
For the detailed information, refer to RFC1305.
