Toward Higher Precision - ACM Queue: "Since the first complete specification of NTP (Network Time Protocol) version 1 and its accompanying algorithms appeared in RFC 1059 in 1988, NTP has played a large role in time synchronization by keeping the clocks of networked computer systems synchronized to within milliseconds of each other. NTP has been deployed to a vast number of systems over the years, yet it hardly bears the burden of clock synchronization alone. When users want to coordinate events in time between multiple systems, they typically have many options for accomplishing this, all with different trade-offs."
