This is an important topic. "Keeping time in sync" is a cornerstone to technology from gps to ssl, from hft to big data.
I was sent back to school recently when I saw "chrony" and not ntp on my centos 7 box. I'm not sold yet. And i've not finished reading the horrible documentation for it. " The NTP time stamp is part of how equities firms show that trades took place when they say they did" - False. Ntp is not precise enough. My finance client's use ptp not ntp.
