SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers and devices over a network. It helps ensure that all devices have the correct time, which is essential for various functions like logging events, scheduling tasks, and maintaining accurate timestamps. SNTP is a simpler version of the more complex Network Time Protocol (NTP) and is easy to implement. While it may not be as precise as NTP, it is sufficient for many applications where exact timekeeping is important but not critical.
