COMPUTER NETWORK TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
Ouvrage 9780849358050 : COMPUTER NETWORK TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
# Examines the technological infrastructure of time dissemination,
distribution, and synchronization
# Describes design network configuration options appropriate for public
and private NTP networks
# Demonstrates how to predict and calibrate performance based on
statistics from NTP clients and servers
# Provides a basis to evaluate the cryptanalytic strengths and
vulnerabilities of the NTP model
# Explains the operating principles of NTP and how the protocol works in
practice
What started with the sundial has, thus far, been refined to a level of
precision based on atomic resonance: Time. Our obsession with time is
evident in this continued scaling down to nanosecond resolution and
beyond. But this obsession is not without warrant. Precision and time
synchronization are critical in many applications, such as air traffic
control and stock trading, and pose complex and important challenges in
modern information networks.
Penned by David L. Mills, the original developer of the Network Time
Protocol (NTP), Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time
Protocol takes a broad look at the architecture, protocols, and
algorithms involved in time dissemination, distribution, and
synchronization. Focused on the fourth generation of NTP, Mills' magnum
opus gives an in-depth configuration and performance analysis of typical
deployed NTP networks as well as a detailed error budget showing the
influence of network and computer delay variations on accuracy. Mills
demonstrates the algorithms used to select measurements accessed via
diverse pathways to achieve the best accuracy, addresses security issues
in depth, and describes the engineering principles underlying NTP
architecture and timestamping exchange procedures.
Opening the door to highly precise time synchronization in both public
and private networks, Computer Network Time Synchronization offers
in-depth analysis, theory, and practical concerns in a unified and
authoritative reference.
