What is an NTP Server?
An NTP Server is a Network Time Server using Network Time Protocol (NTP) to ensure high accuracy of time. Time Servers and NTP are widely used to synchronize the time on computer networks. NTP provides the ability to access time servers, organize the time synchronization subnet and adjust the local clock in each participating subnet computer. Typically, NTP provides accuracies of between 1 and 50 milliseconds depending on the time source and network paths.
