The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::SNTP
DSLIP: bdpfg
description: SNTP Client/Server Script
userid: GARYFALOS (Athanasios Garyfalos)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
Perl Monks, GitHub
similar:
Net::NTP
rationale:
The only module that I can found relative to mine is Net::NTP. This
does not mean that they are the same but because both are based on
NTP protocol but at the same time they are completely different
protocols. NTP and SNTP similarities "the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) Version 4, which is a simplified access strategy for
servers and clients using NTP Version 3 as now specified and
deployed in the Internet" [1]. The Client and server are running on
a constant while loop that need to be terminated by the user. The
server it simply listens and waits for the client to send a request,
process the request and reply back. Based upon the reply the client
readjusts the while loop sleeping period. The client upon receiving
of the server message displays the calculated data and prints them.
The main function of the module is to calculate the roundtrip delay
d and local clock offset t. My target was to create a generic module
able to operate on any OS and calculate the values based on the
highest possible accuracy microseconds. That can be achieved on
Linux OS only not in Windows OS due resolution problems on Windows,
approximately 1ms.
