GPS Network Time Server
TECHNICAL: 0118 965 6000
The overall synchronization performance including the client is highly dependent on
parameters external to the GPS Network Time Server. Such influence is inherent to the
operation of exchanges on UDP protocol for NTP. This performance depends on the message
path over the interconnecting network(s), the load on the routing networks, the setup and the
operating system used by the client.
For an exchange over a local Ethernet network with less than 80% average load and with a
client implemented on a SUN SPARC Classic workstation under Solaris 2.3, the accuracy of
the data transmitted by the GPS Network Time Server allows synchronizing a client with the
server to better than:
±
20 ms.
