| | The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a system for synchronizing the clocks of hosts and clients across the Internet. NTP is a protocol intended to synchronize all computers participating in the network to within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The core of the protocol is NTP's clock discipline algorithm that adjusts the local computer's clock time and tick frequency in response to an external source - such as another trusted NTP server, a radio or satellite receiver, or a telephone modem. A core problem in NTP is establishing the trust and accuracy of nodes in the NTP network. This is done through a combination of selection and filtering algorithms to choose from the most reliable and accurate peer in the synchronization network.

| | On January 19, 2038 all signed 32-bit timestamps representing time and date relative to the "UNIX epoch" will roll over. Just 68 years later, in 2106, all unsigned 32-bit values will do so. But even before that, timestamps used by the Network Time Protocol will roll over in 2036. Since it's only 19 years to Armageddon, I'll lok at what this means for Linux, Windows and other systems and how problems are being solved.
