Network Time Protocol Implementation Based On Web Services And The Precision Analysis

Time synchronization is not only a classical issue in the distributed operation system, but one of the kernel techniques of the distributed applications. As the swift and violent development of computer and network communication technology, the new content and broad range are added in this research area of clock synchronization. The purposes of this paper are to apply the Web Services technique into the research area of the Network Time Protocol (NTP), give the Web Services Architecture of the NTP, and implement the precision measurement and analysis to the time server pool. These works create a good foundation for the new synchronization model of NTP based on the Web Services architecture.Firstly, the paper introduces the concept of physical clock, logical clock, and the Network Time Protocol. Then the Web Services technology is discussed, and applied into the time synchronization research area. During the application process, the paper not only gives the architecture...
