Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time Protocol.0849358051 Computer network time synchronization See real time clock, UTC and NTP. ; the network time protocol. Mills, David L. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2006 286 pages $99.95 Hardcover TK5105 Mills (electrical and computer engineering, computer and information sciences, U. of Delaware), the original developer of the Network Time Protocol (NTP (Network Time Protocol) A TCP/IP protocol used to synchronize the real time clock in computers, network devices and other electronic equipment that is time sensitive. It is also used to maintain the correct time in NTP-based wall and desk clocks. ), describes the maintenance of accurate computer time, and the technological infrastructure of time dissemination dissemination Medtalk The spread of a pernicious process–eg, CA, acute infection Oncology Metastasis, see there , distribution, and synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. , with attention to the architecture, protocols, and algorithms of NTP. He details the components of an NTP client and how it works; principles guiding network configuration and resource discovery; performance, radio, satellite, and telephone modem dissemination; kernel software that improves accuracy; security and cryptographic algorithms; errors; modeling and analysis of the computer clock; international timekeeping; and the technical history of NTP. The book is intended as a reference for NTP administrators or for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in computer engineering and computer science.
