Describe the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

What will be an ideal response?


The Network Time Protocol (NTP) does one thing: it gives you the current time. NTP is an old protocol and isn't in and of itself much of a security risk unless you're using some timestamping protocol like Kerberos. Windows is by far the most common Kerberos user, so just make sure all of your computers have access to an NTP server so users don't run into problems when logging in. NTP uses UDP port 123.
