The NTP (Network Time Protocol) realizes precise time syncronization among network devices.
Two NTP servers have been being operated at RCNP:
These NTP servers are very precise because they are referenced to GPS. Furthermore, they keep precise time even when GPS cannot be received because their internal time source is also precise. However, these NTP servers can be accessed only inside the RCNP internal network. Thefore, if you have network devices (PCs, server machines, etc.) permanently installed in RCNP, it is best to use these NTP servers as time reference for those devices.
