One of the challenges facing those developing networks featuring wirelessly connected devices is maintaining a common clock time. A popular way of doing this is by using Network Time Protocol (NTP), a ...

Serious weaknesses in the Internet’s time-synchronization mechanism can be exploited to cause debilitating outages, snoop on encrypted communications, or tamper with Bitcoin transactions, computer ...

When you want to synchronize files between remote network equipment and servers at a main facility, all computers must have the accurate Universal Time Coordinated, or UTC, an official standard for ...

You’d think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it’s actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS ARE RAPIDLY MIGRATING from circuit switched to packet technologies to converge services onto a single network, deliver larger amounts of bandwidth, and lower costs. One of ...
