The Network Time Protocol (NTP) synchronises a client to servers by request-response exchanges over UDP, typically every few seconds to minutes, with timestamps taken in software. The Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) synchronises clocks on a network to a master by frequent exchanges, many a second, designed for timestamps taken in the network hardware and for switches that take part in the protocol.
