Abstract
This RFC describes a PICS Proforma translated into an Internet
acceptable form. The Original document was developed according to
ISO 9646 for conformance test purposes. This document is intended
for both developers and users of the NTP (Network Time Protocol).
This document contains specific information and performance
characteristics for the use of NTP within the context of Internet
usage. It is suggested, that users wishing to use the
synchronization capabilities of the Internet abide by the
characteristics set within this document.
For more information please contact Dr. David Mills at [email protected]
or review <a href="./rfc1305">RFC 1305</a> for more information.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. INTRODUCTION</span>
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is
necessary to have a statement of the capabilities and options that
have been implemented for a given protocol. Such a statement is
called a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. SCOPE</span>
This document provides the PICS proforma for the Network Time
Protocol (NTP) in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in
accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-2.
