Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol built on top of TCP/IP that assures accurate local timekeeping by referring to Network Time Servers located on the Internet. This protocol allows local clocks to be synchronized with radio, atomic, or other reference clocks within milliseconds over long time periods.[1]
