NTP Client

An NTP (Network Time Protocol) client is a software or device that synchronizes its clock with highly accurate time sources over a network. It ensures that the device’s time is precise and consistent with global standard times, which is essential for tasks like secure communications, data logging, and scheduling. The NTP client regularly communicates with dedicated time servers to correct any discrepancies, maintaining accurate time across computers and devices. This synchronization helps prevent issues caused by time mismatches, such as incorrect records or security problems.
