NTP-related implementations

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a system used to synchronize clocks across computers and devices over a network. Implementations involve specialized software that communicates with precise time sources, such as atomic clocks or GPS signals, to ensure each device maintains accurate time. This synchronization is crucial for activities like data logging, security, and coordinated operations. NTP can operate in hierarchical levels, with higher-level servers providing time to lower levels, ensuring consistency across global networks. Overall, NTP helps keep digital systems in sync, improving reliability and accuracy in time-dependent processes.
