What is a feature or purpose of NTP peers?

  • NTP peers are NTP clients that share a common NTP server.
  • An NTP client that loses connection with an NTP server can synchronize the time with an NTP peer.
  • NTP peers query each other to synchronize their clocks.
  • An NTP peer that loses connection with another NTP peer loses all NTP synchronization.

Explanation: An NTP peer that is configured with an authoritative time source treats its peer as an equal and adjusts its clock to synchronize with that peer.
