    NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a simple Application layer protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers on a network. It allows computers to accurately maintain the same time by exchanging time information between them. This is particularly important in scenarios where accurate timekeeping is crucial, such as in financial transactions, network logging, or distributed systems. NTP achieves synchronization by utilizing a hierarchical system of time servers, where lower-level servers synchronize with higher-level ones, ultimately obtaining time from highly accurate reference clocks.
