What is a feature of the NTP synchronization process?
- An NTP client can synchronize large time discrepancies to almost perfect accuracy within a few NTP server polling cycles.
- All NTP clients will synchronize to within a fraction of a second accuracy within two polling cycles with the NTP server.
- NTP synchronization requires an NTP client to regularly poll a minimum of two NTP servers.
- The rate at which an NTP client device maintains time does not deviate from device to device.
Explanation: Although an NTP client can synchronize a large time discrepancy to within a couple of seconds of accuracy with a few cycles of polling an NTP server, an accuracy of tens of milliseconds requires hours or days of polling. NTP synchronization requires an NTP client to regularly poll just one NTP server. The rate at which an NTP client device maintains time can deviate from device to device, with this deviation minimized by using NTP to poll an NTP server.
