NTP Server
Product Introduction
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) time server is based on signals from global positioning satellites
(GPS and BDS) as the reference source. The time reference in the GPS/BDS satellite signal is
synchronized with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and the long-term frequency stability
reaches the level of 10-13 of cesium atomic clocks, equivalent to slowing down by only one second
every 300,000 years. Using this signal as a time reference to adjust the local time can eliminate the
accumulated deviation caused by the lower accuracy of the local clock, greatly improving the
timing accuracy of the server. The NTP time server uses a professional GPS/BDS timing receiver,
which has fast signal acquisition and reliable lock-in.
The NTP protocol is an internationally recognized network timing protocol. Its principle is that the
client initiates a time poll to the server at intervals. Based on certain filtering algorithms, the time
deviation between the server and the client, as well as the propagation delay caused by network
transmission, are calculated, and the client's local time is adjusted according to these two
parameters to synchronize it with the server. Compared with other time calibration protocols, the
NTP protocol can eliminate the impact of network propagation delay and therefore provide
high-precision timing services. The specific protocol description can be found in the latest standard
documents RFC1305 and RFC2030. The NTP time server can be compatible with various versions of
NTP v2/v3/v4 simultaneously.
