Key Aspects of SNTP

Cyber Forums
1

  • Simplicity: Less complex than NTP, designed for lower processing power and memory.

  • Functionality: Synchronizes clocks to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • Protocol: Works over UDP on port 123, part of the TCP/IP suite.

  • Use Case: Ideal for client devices, microcontrollers, and applications where high precision isn’t critical.

  • Command-Line Tool: The sntp command-line tool queries NTP servers and can correct a system’s clock (with root privileges) or display time offsets.
