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 accuracies typically within a
millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through 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.
