SNTP is a Simple Network Time Protocol. It is based on RFC 1361/2030: it gets its time from the specified time servers of the machine on which it is installed. This protocol cannot be configured to obtain time from an alternate time server if the primary server is down. This could be called a short version of NTP client software.
