Netzwerkuhren
Netzwerkuhren are devices and software systems that provide precise timekeeping over computer networks. They synchronize the clocks of distributed computers, servers, and embedded systems so that all participating devices share a common time reference. Accurate network time is essential for logging, billing, transaction ordering, and for security protocols that rely on timestamps.
The most common protocol for network time synchronization is the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP exchanges
Eine Netzwerkuhr besteht typischerweise aus einer hochpräzisen Quarzkippuhr oder einem atomic clock reference sowie einer Netzwerkkomponente,
Beyond protocol, the design of a Netzwerkuhr must consider security and fault tolerance. Authentication mechanisms (like
Netzwerkuhren are foundational in telecommunications, data centres, financial trading platforms, and industrial control systems. Their reliability
