Welcome to the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project!
The NTP Project conducts Research and Development in NTP, a protocol designed to
synchronize the clocks of computers over a network to a common timebase. NTP is what ensures the reliability of billions of devices
around the world, under the sea, and even in space. Accurate timekeeping is vital to the many applications which have revolutionized
and are essential to our daily lives: satellites, GPS, 5G, financial services, healthcare, and more.
The NTP Project produces an open source Reference Implementation of the NTP standard, maintains the implementation, and
develops the protocol and algorithmic standard that is used to communicate time between systems.
Network Time Foundation provides support for the NTP Project.
