  • Page 13: Icmp (Internet Control Message Protocol)

    Manual Version 2.1 The term SNTP applies to both the protocol and the client/server programs that run on computers. The programs are compiled by the user as an SNTP client, SNTP server, or both. In basic terms, the SNTP client initiates a time request exchange with the time server. As a result of this exchange, the client is able to calculate the link delay, its local offset, and adjust its local clock to match the clock at the server's computer.
