Description of the module

Router app NTPv4 is not contained in the standard router firmware. Uploading of this router app is described in the Configuration manual (see Chapter Related Documents). The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used to synchronize computer clocks on the Internet. NTPv4 includes a modified protocol header to accommodate the Internet Protocol version 6 address family. NTPv4 includes fundamental improvements in the mitigation and discipline algorithms that extend the potential accuracy to the tens of microseconds with modern workstations and fast LANs. Ntpq and commands are supported from module version 1.2.0.
