Abstract :
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is widely used in various networks, such as from LAN to WAN. In the case of Internet, the time synchronization accuracy is degraded due to the property of the asymmetric structure of the network between the NTP server and the client. We propose a new technique to reduce the effect of this problem using double packets method.
