Summary: Written by the original developer of Network Time Protocol (NTP), this book speaks to the technological infrastructure of time dissemination, distribution, and synchronization, specifically the architecture, protocols, and algorithms of the NTP. The NTP has been active in one form or another for three decades on the public Internet and numerous private networks. Just about everything today that can be connected to a network wire has support for NTP: The original 16 chapters of the first edition have been rewritten and updated with new material. Four new chapters have been added covering new algorithms and previously uncovered concepts including timekeeping in space missions.Summary: Front cover -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- List of Tables -- Preface -- About the Author -- Chapter 1: Basic Concepts -- Chapter 2: How NTP Works -- Chapter 3: In the Belly of the Beast -- Chapter 4: Clock Discipline Algorithm -- Chapter 5: NTP System Engineering and Configuration -- Chapter 6: NTP Performance in the Internet -- Chapter 7: Primary Servers and Reference Clocks -- Chapter 8: Kernel Timekeeping Support -- Chapter 9: Cryptographic Authentication -- Chapter 10: Identity Schemes -- Chapter 11: Analysis of Errors -- Chapter 12: Modeling and Analysis of Computer Clocks -- Chapter 13: Metrology and Chronometry of the NTP Timescale -- Chapter 14: NTP Reference Implementation -- Chapter 15: Precision System Clock Architecture -- Chapter 16: NTP Interleaved Modes -- Chapter 17: Time Transfer for Space Data Links -- Chapter 18: Time Transfer for Deep-Space Missions -- Chapter 19: Technical History of NTP -- Bibliography -- Acronyms -- Back cover.PPN: PPN: 80915269XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE
