The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to sync clocks across computers and devices, ensuring consistent timestamps for emails, transactions, and logs. It references atomic clocks or GPS signals, correcting system drift. Without NTP, even small timing discrepancies accumulate, compromising data integrity and chronological order. For critical applications like financial trading or air traffic control, precise synchronization is paramount. Mastering NTP fundamentals allows IT professionals to maintain stable networks, preventing errors rooted in clock misalignment.
