Computer Network Time Synchronization (eBook, PDF)

The Network Time Protocol on Earth and in Space, Second Edition

Beschreibung

Written by the original developer of Network Time Protocol (NTP), this book speaks to the technological infrastructure of time dissemination, distribution, and synchronization, specifically the architecture, protocols, and algorithms of the NTP. The NTP has been active in one form or another for three decades on the public Internet and numerous private networks. Just about everything today that can be connected to a network wire has support for NTP: The original 16 chapters of the first edition have been rewritten and updated with new material. Four new chapters have been added covering new algorithms and previously uncovered concepts including timekeeping in space missions.
