Abstract
Network time protocol (NTP) has become widely used across the Internet to synchronize clocks on computers and, more recently, on a wide variety of handheld devices. You are using NTP on a daily basis without even knowing it - when you set your mobile phone to get its time from the local network, you are linking into a global network of NTP servers that coordinate time across the entire Internet.
