Daytime
A network protocol used by devices for debugging and time measurement. A
computer can use this protocol to set its internal clock but only if it knows in which
order the year, month, and day are returned by the server. Not all servers use the
same format.
Time
A network protocol for retrieving the current time from a server. The computer
issuing the command compares the time on its clock to the information returned
by the server, adjusts itself automatically for time zone differences, then
calculates the difference and corrects itself if there has been any temporal drift.
NTP
NTP stands for Network Time Protocol. It is employed by devices connected to the
Internet in order to obtain a precise time setting from an official time server.
These time servers are accurate to within 200 microseconds.
