Description:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard for synchronizing computer system clocks via package-based communication networks. Although this is usually done via UDP, it can also be transported by other Layer 4 protocols such as TCP, for example. It was specially developed to enable reliable time relaying via networks with variable package runtimes.
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simplified version of NTP. It is described in RFC 2030.
Instructions:
Follow the instructions to configure your local computer as NTP server. In this way you can synchronize other devices with the local PC.
