Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of computers over a network. It uses a hierarchical system of time servers to distribute accurate time information, enabling devices to maintain consistent and reliable timestamps. This protocol operates by exchanging time data between a client and one or more time servers to calculate the network delay and clock offset, allowing the client to adjust its clock to match the server's time.
