1129 Mills Oct 89 Internet Time Synchronization:
the Network Time Protocol
This memo describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP) designed to
distribute time information in a large, diverse internet system
operating at speeds from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable-
time architecture in which a distributed subnet of time servers
operating in a self-organizing, hierarchical, master-slave configuration
synchronizes local clocks within the subnet and to national time
standards via wire or radio. The servers can also redistribute time
information within a network via local routing algorithms and time
daemons.
The architectures, algorithms and protocols which have evolved to NTP
over several years of implementation and refinement are described in
this paper. The synchronization subnet which has been in regular
operation in the Internet for the last several years is described along
with performance data which shows that timekeeping accuracy throughout
most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily maintained to within a
few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of failure or disruption of
clocks, time servers or networks.
This memo describes the Network Time Protocol in RFC-1119.
1128 Mills Oct 89 Measured Performance of the Network Time
Protocol in the Internet System
This paper describes a series of experiments involving over 100,000
hosts of the Internet system and located in the U.S., Europe and the
Pacific. The experiments are designed to evaluate the availability,
accuracy and reliability of international standard time distribution
using the DARPA/NSF Internet and the Network Time Protocol (NTP), which
is specified in RFC-1119. NTP is designed specifically for use in a
large, diverse internet system operating at speeds from mundane to
lightwave. In NTP a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a
self-organizing, hierarchical, master-slave configuration exchange
precision timestamps in order to synchronize subnet clocks to each other
and national time standards via wire or radio.
The experiments are designed to locate Internet hosts and gateways that
provide time by one of three time distribution protocols and evaluate
the accuracy of their indications. For those hosts that support NTP,
the experiments determine the distribution of errors and other
statistics over paths spanning major portions of the globe. Finally,
the experiments evaluate the accuracy and reliability of precision
timekeeping using NTP and typical Internet paths involving DARPA, NSFNET
and other agency networks. The experiments demonstrate that timekeeping
accuracy throughout most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily
maintained to within a few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of
failure or disruption of clocks, time servers or networks.
This memo does not specify a standard.

1126 Little Oct 89 Goals and Functional Requirements for
Inter-Autonomous System Routing
This document describes the functional requirements for a routing
protocol to be used between autonomous systems. This document is
intended as a necessary precursor to the design of a new inter-
autonomous system routing protocol and specifies requirements for the
Internet applicable for use with the current DoD IP, the ISO IP, and
future Internet Protocols. It is intended that these requirements will
form the basis for the future development of a new inter-autonomous
systems routing architecture and protocol. This memo does not specify a
standard.
1125 Estrin Nov 89 Policy Requirements for Inter
Administrative Domain Routing
The purpose of this memo is to focus discussion on particular problems

is hoped that a general consensus will emerge as to the appropriate
solution to such problems, leading eventually to the development and
adoption of standards.
1124 Leiner Sep 89 Policy Issues in Interconnecting Networks

Specification and Implementation
This document describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its
formal structure and summarizes information useful for its
implementation. NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time and
coordinate time distribution in a large, diverse internet operating at
rates from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable-time design in
which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a self-
organizing, hierarchical-master-slave configuration synchronizes local
clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or
radio. The servers can also redistribute reference time via local
routing algorithms and time daemons. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

information within a network via local routing algorithms and time
daemons.
The architectures, algorithms and protocols which have evolved to NTP
over several years of implementation and refinement are described in
this paper. The synchronization subnet which has been in regular
operation in the Internet for the last several years is described along
with performance data which shows that timekeeping accuracy throughout
most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily maintained to within a
few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of failure or disruption of
clocks, time servers or networks.
This memo describes the Network Time Protocol in RFC-1119.
1128 Mills Oct 89 Measured Performance of the Network Time
Protocol in the Internet System
This paper describes a series of experiments involving over 100,000
hosts of the Internet system and located in the U.S., Europe and the
Pacific. The experiments are designed to evaluate the availability,
accuracy and reliability of international standard time distribution
using the DARPA/NSF Internet and the Network Time Protocol (NTP), which
is specified in RFC-1119. NTP is designed specifically for use in a
large, diverse internet system operating at speeds from mundane to
lightwave. In NTP a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a
self-organizing, hierarchical, master-slave configuration exchange
precision timestamps in order to synchronize subnet clocks to each other
and national time standards via wire or radio.
The experiments are designed to locate Internet hosts and gateways that
provide time by one of three time distribution protocols and evaluate
the accuracy of their indications. For those hosts that support NTP,
the experiments determine the distribution of errors and other
statistics over paths spanning major portions of the globe. Finally,
the experiments evaluate the accuracy and reliability of precision
timekeeping using NTP and typical Internet paths involving DARPA, NSFNET
and other agency networks. The experiments demonstrate that timekeeping
accuracy throughout most portions of the Internet can be ordinarily
maintained to within a few tens of milliseconds, even in cases of
failure or disruption of clocks, time servers or networks.

1126 Little Oct 89 Goals and Functional Requirements for
Inter-Autonomous System Routing
This document describes the functional requirements for a routing
protocol to be used between autonomous systems. This document is
intended as a necessary precursor to the design of a new inter-
autonomous system routing protocol and specifies requirements for the
Internet applicable for use with the current DoD IP, the ISO IP, and
future Internet Protocols. It is intended that these requirements will
form the basis for the future development of a new inter-autonomous
systems routing architecture and protocol. This memo does not specify a
standard.
1125 Estrin Nov 89 Policy Requirements for Inter
Administrative Domain Routing
The purpose of this memo is to focus discussion on particular problems
in the Internet and possible methods of solution. No proposed solutions
in this document are intended as standards for the Internet. Rather, it
is hoped that a general consensus will emerge as to the appropriate
solution to such problems, leading eventually to the development and
adoption of standards.
1124 Leiner Sep 89 Policy Issues in Interconnecting Networks
To support the activities of the Federal Research Internet Coordinating
Committee (FRICC) in creating an interconnected set of networks to serve
the research community, two workshops were held to address the technical
support of policy issues that arise when interconnecting such networks.
Held under the suspices of the Internet Activities Board at the request
of the FRICC, and sponsored by NASA through RIACS, the workshops
addressed the required and feasible technologies and architectures that
could be used to satisfy the desired policies for interconnection. The
purpose of this RFCis to report the results of these workshops.

1119 Mills Sep 89 Network Time Protocol (Version 2)
Specification and Implementation
This document describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), specifies its
formal structure and summarizes information useful for its
implementation. NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time and
coordinate time distribution in a large, diverse internet operating at
rates from mundane to lightwave. It uses a returnable-time design in
which a distributed subnet of time servers operating in a self-
organizing, hierarchical-master-slave configuration synchronizes local
clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or
radio. The servers can also redistribute reference time via local
routing algorithms and time daemons. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
1118 Krol Sep 89 The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet
This RFCis being distributed to members of the Internet community in
order to make available some "hints" which will allow new network
participants to understand how the direction of the Internet is set, how
to acquire online information and how to be a good Internet neighbor.
While the information discussed may not be relevant to the research
problems of the Internet, it may be interesting to a number of
researchers and implementors. No standards are defined or specified in
this memo.
