Configuring the Time Synchronization Protocol (TSP)

Configuring the Time Synchronization Protocol (TSP)

Use TSP, the Time Synchronization Protocol, to synchronize clocks on a local network. You can, alternately, use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize clocks. For information on the differences between TSP and NTP, see ``Distributed time services''.

In this implementation of TSP, the timed(ADMN) time daemon runs on each host on your network. These time daemons communicate with each other using a master-slave scheme in which one of the daemons is the master and all of the remaining daemons are slaves.

Each time daemon has two functions:

The remainder of this chapter covers how the time daemon works, guidelines for using TSP, timed options, and basic TSP administration.
