Chances are you’ve heard about network protocol in the past but likely have little idea of what it is all about. For sure right now, we can say that there are different types of network protocols ...

Dr. David L. Mills, the inventor of the Network Time Protocol (NTP), has passed away aged 85. He created NTP in 1985 to synchronize time across different computer systems and network, a critical step ...

We’ve gotten used to the fact that the clocks on our internet-connected computers and smartphones are always telling the right time. Time servers, provided by a variety of government agencies as well ...

David L. Mills, a computer scientist who invented the system that allows connected computers to sync their clocks, a bedrock technology relied on by the entire modern internet, died Jan. 17 at his ...

Remote code execution vulnerabilities in the standard implementation of the network time protocol (NTP) can be exploited by attackers to compromise servers, embedded devices and even critical ...

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is one of the best ways to keep networked computers synchronized to the same time. It’s simple, lightweight, and not only allows computers to maintain a time standard ...

Yet one of the biggest problems with Ethernet in industrial applications is the non-deterministic nature of the data transmission. For many applications, Ethernet's Network Time Protocol (NTP) ...

More than a decade ago, European researchers invented highly accurate network time distribution protocols for CERN. They are now adopted by industries including financial services. Accuracy in the ...

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is poised to have the biggest impact on industrial networking since Ethernet was introduced to the plant floor more than two decades ago. “The goal is to ensure a ...

Several efforts in Ethernet development and add-on technologies to the standard are making it possible for lower-cost Ethernet gear to be deployed in factory networks, where LAN gear controls the ...

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) service allows devices on the Drexel network to set and synchronize their real-time clock with a high degree of accuracy. Drexel's Network Time Service is typically ...
