Introduction to NTP
755
■
When receiving a response packet, the local time of Device A is 10:00:03 am
(T4).
At this time, Device A has enough information to calculate the following two
parameters:
■
Delay for an NTP message to make a round trip between Device A and Device
B:
Delay = (T
4
-T
1
)-(T
3
-T
2
).
■
Time offset of Device A relative to Device B:
Offset = ((T
2
-T
1
) + (T
3
-T
4
))/2.
Device A can then set its own clock according to the above information to
synchronize its clock to that of Device B.
For detailed information, refer to RFC 1305.
NTP Implementation
Mode
To accommodate networks of different structures and switches in different
network positions, NTP can operate in multiple modes, as described in the
following.
Client/Server mode

NTP implementation mode: client/Sever mode
Peer mode
