- RFC 1361:
-
- Title: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
- Author: D. Mills
- Mailbox: mills@udel.edu
- Pages: 10
- Characters: 23,812
- Update/Obsoletes: none
-
-
- This memorandum describes the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP),
- which is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) used to
- synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used when the
- ultimate performance of the full NTP implementation described in
- RFC-1305 is not needed or justified. It involves no change to the
- current or previous NTP specification versions or known
- implementations, but rather a clarification of certain design features
- of NTP which allow operation in a simple, stateless RPC mode with
- accuracy and reliability expectations similar to the UDP/TIME protocol
- described in RFC-868.
-
- This memorandum does not obsolete or update any RFC. A working
- knowledge of RFC-1305 is not required for an implementation of SNTP.
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
- not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
- unlimited.
