Progressive Synchronization

After the system has established initial NTP parameters, it continues to synchronize to a server as follows:

  1. The system acquires time information from servers periodically.
  2. 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.
  3. The system gradually synchronizes its clock to that of the master.
