Domain Time Protocol

The Domain Time Protocol (DTP) is a networking standard used to ensure computers and devices within a network have synchronized clocks. Accurate time is important for security, data integrity, and coordinating activities. DTP allows devices to quickly and precisely update their clocks from a trusted time source, like a server, maintaining consistent timing across the network. This coordination helps prevent errors, improve security, and ensure reliable operation of applications that depend on accurate time stamps. Essentially, DTP keeps everything in sync so that all systems "share" the same precise time.
