[STANDARDS-TRACK] + + +1130 Postel Oct 89 IAB Official Protocol Standards + +This memo describes the state of standardization of protocols used in +the Internet as determined by the Internet Activities Board (IAB). + + +1129 Mills Oct 89 Internet Time Synchronization: + the Network Time Protocol + +This memo describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP) designed to +distribute time information in a large, diverse internet system +operating at speeds from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable- +time architecture 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 time +information within a network via local routing algorithms and time +daemons. + +The architectures, algorithms and protocols which have evolved to NTP +over several years of implementation and refinement are described in +this paper. The synchronization subnet which has been in regular +operation in the Internet for the last several years is described along +with performance data which shows that timekeeping accuracy throughout +most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily maintained to within a +few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of failure or disruption of +clocks, time servers or networks. + +This memo describes the Network Time Protocol in RFC-1119. + + + + + + +Reynolds [Page 15] + +RFC 1199 Summary of 1100-1199 December 1991 + + +1128 Mills Oct 89 Measured Performance of the Network Time + Protocol in the Internet System + +This paper describes a series of experiments involving over 100,000 +hosts of the Internet system and located in the U.S., Europe and the +Pacific. The experiments are designed to evaluate the availability, +accuracy and reliability of international standard time distribution +using the DARPA/NSF Internet and the Network Time Protocol (NTP), which +is specified in RFC-1119. NTP is designed specifically for use in a +large, diverse internet system operating at speeds from mundane to +lightwave. In NTP a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a +self-organizing, hierarchical, master-slave configuration exchange +precision timestamps in order to synchronize subnet clocks to each other +and national time standards via wire or radio. + +The experiments are designed to locate Internet hosts and gateways that +provide time by one of three time distribution protocols and evaluate +the accuracy of their indications. For those hosts that support NTP, +the experiments determine the distribution of errors and other +statistics over paths spanning major portions of the globe. Finally, +the experiments evaluate the accuracy and reliability of precision +timekeeping using NTP and typical Internet paths involving DARPA, NSFNET +and other agency networks. The experiments demonstrate that timekeeping +accuracy throughout most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily +maintained to within a few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of +failure or disruption of clocks, time servers or networks. + +This memo does not specify a standard. + + +1127 Braden Oct 89 Perspective on Host Requirements + +This RFC is for information only; it does not constitute a standard, +draft standard, or proposed standard, and it does not define a protocol. + + +1126 Little Oct 89 Goals and Functional Requirements for + Inter-Autonomous System Routing + +This document describes the functional requirements for a routing +protocol to be used between autonomous systems. This document is +intended as a necessary precursor to the design of a new inter- +autonomous system routing protocol and specifies requirements for the +Internet applicable for use with the current DoD IP, the ISO IP, and +future Internet Protocols. It is intended that these requirements will +form the basis for the future development of a new inter-autonomous +systems routing architecture and protocol.

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.
