NTP

NTP, or Network Time Protocol, is a system that ensures computers and devices maintain accurate and synchronized time over the internet. It works by connecting to highly precise time sources, like atomic clocks, and adjusting the devices’ clocks accordingly. This synchronization is essential for activities like financial transactions, communication, and security, where timing accuracy matters. NTP operates seamlessly in the background, helping all connected devices share the same time, reducing errors and discrepancies across networks.
