Progressive Synchronization
After the system has established initial NTP parameters,
it continues to synchronize to a server as follows:
- The system acquires time information from servers periodically.
- The system evaluates which server is currently the best
time source (the master) by analyzing time
data in the messages and comparing the data from different servers.
- The system gradually synchronizes its clock to that of
the master.
