Chances are you’ve heard about network protocol in the past but likely have little idea of what it is all about. For sure right now, we can say that there are different types of network protocols ...

With over seven years of experience as a freelance technology writer and reporter, Tim Keary has a range of experience breaking down complex technologies into simple and accessible content. His work ...

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and USA introduced the AMG810/816 series of Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. NTP servers are required in closed networks where there is no connection to the ...

We’ve gotten used to the fact that the clocks on our internet-connected computers and smartphones are always telling the right time. Time servers, provided by a variety of government agencies as well ...

Remote code execution vulnerabilities in the standard implementation of the network time protocol (NTP) can be exploited by attackers to compromise servers, embedded devices, and even critical ...

More than a decade ago, European researchers invented highly accurate network time distribution protocols for CERN. They are now adopted by industries including financial services. Accuracy in the ...

David Mills, who created the tool that keeps the internet’s clocks synchronized, has died at 85. The Oakland-born man invented and spent decades upgrading Network Time Protocol, a system that, to this ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...
