        Title:      Network Time Protocol (Version 2)

This document describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its
formal structure and summarizes information useful for its
implementation.  NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time and
coordinate time distribution in a large, diverse internet operating at
rates from mundane to lightwave.  It uses a returnable-time design in
which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a
self-organizing, hierarchical-master-slave configuration synchronizes
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire
or radio.  The servers can also redistribute reference time via local
routing algorithms and time daemons.

This is an Internet Standard Recommended Protocol.  Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.

Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to POSTEL@ISI.EDU.

Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
