- Even if you have an isolated network, without access to the Internet
- or to your own atomic or radio clocks, you can use NTP (Network
- Time Protocol) to synchronise your clocks. Somebody else has already
- mentioned louie.udel.edu and comp.protocols.time.ntp, so I will mention
- the following RFCs: RFCs 1128 and 1129 describe the ideas behind NTP and
- some experiments with NTP; RFC 1305 documents version 3 of the protocol;
- RFC 1361 explains a simple technique for using a subset of the protocol.
