Le temps peut aussi être distribué sur [...] Internet. Pour cela il faut un protocole adapté. C'est le protocole NTP(Network Time Protocol) [...] La difficulté de distribuer le temps sur [...] Internet est que le protocole IP est en mode non connecté et qu'il n’ y a pas de temps réel. Le protocole NTP est complexe et la synchronisation se fait en utilisant l'horloge locale de la station qui doit être le plus à l'heure possible pour le bon fonctionnement du système. 4, record 1, French, - protocole%20NTP
