Fusion Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) offers client and server services to obtain and set accurate date and time in network connected devices.
It operates in three selectable modes:
- Unicast - A client sends a request
to a designated time server at its unicast address
and receives a response from which it determines the
time.
- Multicast - A time server periodically sends a message
containing the current time to a designated multicast
group address. The client “listens” on
this multicast address.
- Anycast - A client sends a request to a designated
local broadcast address or multicast group address.
One or more time servers reply with their own unicast
address and the client binds to the first one received.
The client continues operation in unicast mode.
With Fusion SNTP you can
adjust the receive and poll rates, and synchronize your
networked devices as often as necessary. Additionally,
all functions are performed using high level APIs which
reduce your product development time significantly.
This makes Fusion SNTP
versatile, easy to use and the perfect solution for
any device, from handheld wireless to enterprise networks.
