NTP

(Network Time Protocol)

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers and devices over a network. It ensures accurate timekeeping, which is critical for tasks like logging, authentication, and distributed systems.

NTP operates in a hierarchical structure, with stratum levels defining the distance from a reference clock. It is widely used in industries like finance, telecommunications, and IT, where precise time synchronization is essential for operational efficiency and security.
