ntp
===

The ntp package is a small implementation of a limited NTP client. It
requests the current time from a remote NTP server according to
selected version of the NTP protocol. Client uses version 4 of the NTP
protocol RFC5905 by default.

The approach was inspired by a post to the go-nuts mailing list by
Michael Hofmann:

Use the offset calculation that includes round trip time in the ntp collector Previously the raw time difference was used which includes the network trip time between the node and the ntp server. This makes setting alerts off the value troublesome as it depends on the latency as well as the clock offset. 2016-06-01 09:56:20 +02:00			`[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/beevik/ntp.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/beevik/ntp)`

Vendor all dependencies Uses godep to vendor dependencies. Godeps is not necessary during build, golang's new vendor support is used instead. 2016-01-21 04:19:15 +01:00			`ntp`
