ntp
===

The ntp package is an implementation of a simple NTP client. It allows you
to connect to a remote NTP server and request the current time.

To request the current time using version 4 of the NTP protocol, simply do the
following:
```go
time, err := ntp.Time("0.pool.ntp.org")
```

To request the current time along with additional metadata, use the Query
function:
```go
response, err := ntp.Query("0.pool.ntp.org", 4)
```
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)`
