Network Time Protocol Profile

Network Time Protocol synchronizes computer clocks to each other and to international standards via telephone modem, radio and satellite. As a profile, especially within distributed systems, synchronized time is essential for coordinating actions and ensuring that distributed processes work together seamlessly. Consistent time across devices is ideal in network management tasks, such as monitoring and troubleshooting. It ensures that logs from different devices can be correlated accurately and ensures the smooth and secure operation of the network.
