| FUSION SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
FUSION SNTP offers client and server services
to obtain and set accurate date and time in network connected
devices. It operates in three selectable modes:
Unicast:
A client sends a request
to a designated time server at its unicast address and
receives a response from which it determines the time.
Multicast:
A time server periodically
sends a message containing the current time to a designated
multicast group address. The client "listens" on this
multicast address.
Anycast:
A client sends a request
to a designated local broadcast address or multicast group
address. One or more time servers reply with their own
unicast address and the client binds to the first one
received. The client continues operation in unicast mode.
With FUSION SNTP you can adjust the receive and poll rates,
and synchronize your networked devices as often as necessary.
Additionally, all functions are performed using high level
APIs which reduce your product development time significantly.
This makes FUSION SNTP versatile, easy to use and the
perfect solution for any device, from handheld wireless
to enterprise networks. |
