The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an application layer protocol defined in RFC 1305, which is used to synchronize the times of the distributed time server and the client. The RFC defines the structures, arithmetics, entities, and protocols used in the implementation of NTP.
NTP is developed from the time protocol and the ICMP timestamp message protocol, with special design on the aspects of accuracy and robustness.
NTP runs over UDP with port number 123.
Any local system that runs NTP can be time-synchronized by other clock sources, and also act as a clock source to synchronize other clocks. In addition, mutual synchronization can be done through NTP packet exchanges.
