What are you looking for? The wikipedia page is a good introduction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol NTP is a big sub-set of time-nut activity with an active community of geeks. I think any time-nut documentation should point to other info rather than duplicate their activity. http://www.ntp.org/ There is also PTP, IEEE 1588 The basic NTP "conversation" is the typical client/server exchange of a pair of UDP packets. tcpdump will decode the contents so you can easily use it to get a quick introduction. (That's assuming you have a system running NTP that already generates the packets.) -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
