== Description ==

The Network Time Protocol is a protocol designed for clock synchronization between computers over a network. Usually, a NTP client queries a NTP server and will adjust its system clock on the server's reply. The protocol describes how to accuratly adjust the client's time and will take into account the various delays (round trip delay, for example). NTP servers are hooked to devices (Atomic clock, GPS...) that give the exact time.
