Class NtpClient

java.lang.Object
net.i2p.router.time.NtpClient

public class NtpClient
extends Object
NtpClient - an NTP client for Java. This program connects to an NTP server and prints the response to the console. The local clock offset calculation is implemented according to the SNTP algorithm specified in RFC 2030. Note that on windows platforms, the curent time-of-day timestamp is limited to an resolution of 10ms and adversely affects the accuracy of the results. Public only for main(), not a public API, not for external use. 2036-compliant as of 0.9.50, see NtpMessage.
