	Home of the Network Time Protocol - http://www.ntp.org/ NTP official reference implementation (for Unix and Unix-like OSes, with ports to Microsoft Windows NT, VMS, real-time OSes like VxWorks and QNX). Also jumping-off point to the official NTP documentation and FAQ, community documentation tools (twiki), pool.ntp.org, and related projects.
	pool.ntp.org: The Internet Time Network - http://www.pool.ntp.org/ Information on a collection of public NTP servers provided by users and ISP's placed in a DNS round-robin under pool.ntp.org.
	NTP Servers Web - http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome Community maintained list of public Stratum 1 and Stratum 2 NTP time servers, including policies and requirements for use, contact information. Maintained via the NTP TWiki, by the admins of the respective sites themselves.
	NTP Support Web - http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/WebHome Not the official NTP documentation or the official NTP FAQ. Intended to be the collection point for cookbook configurations, tips, hints, tricks, and other comments from directly from various members of the NTP community that might be beneficial to others within the community. Anyone who is interested in helping to develop or improve documentation for NTP is encouraged to join and contribute.
	RFC1305 - Network Time Protocol (Version 3) - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1305 The current NTP standard. Available here in HTML, PDF, and Postscript formats.

	RFC2030 - Simple Network Time Protocol Version 4 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2030 The current standard for SNTP, a version of the protocol for implementations which do not need all of the features of NTP. Available here in HTML, PDF, and Postscript formats.
	The NTP FAQ and HOWTO - http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm Understanding and using the Network Time Protocol (A first try on a non-technical Mini-HOWTO and FAQ on NTP)
	O'Reilly Cisco Cookbook - http://safari.oreilly.com/0596003676 This book gathers hundreds of example router configurations all in one place.

This article explains the basics of client and server administration, covering various client/server configurations, as well as authentication and access control mechanisms. This article also provides a number of suggestions for an effective NTP architecture.
	Vendor: Sun Blueprints Online: Using NTP on the Sun Fire 15K/12K Server - http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0603/817-2979.pdf This article addresses the time skew issues for the Sun Fire 12K/F15K server and explains how the system controllers and domains can be configured as NTP clients to external servers. A sample configuration is also provided. This article is targeted to the intermediate level of expertise.
	Vendor: Sun Blueprints Online: Using NTP to Control and Synchronize System Clocks - Part III: NTP Monitoring and Troubleshooting - http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0901/NTPpt3.pdf This article is the third in a series of three articles that discuss using Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize system clocks. The goal of this article is to provide an effective understanding of NTP troubleshooting and monitoring.
