NTP uses Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC). The local time in Germany is Central European
Time (CET) and Central European Summer Time (CEST), respectively. CET and
CEST are related to UTC by
CET = UTC + 1h and
CEST = UTC + 2h, respectively.
NTP Software:
In the PTB, NTP Software Version 3-5.90 has been installed. This
software package implements the NTP Protocol Version 3 defined in
RFC-1305.
External Clocks:
Independent of GPS, the time servers are synchronized to UTC(PTB) by PTB atomic clocks.
