NIST timeservers using the Internet and compare NIST time to the time set on
host computers. If there is a disparity, it automatically adjusts the computer's
time to reflect NIST time. Once set up, the host computer can serve as a
timeserver for a network of any size. The host can be set to check NIST time as
often or seldom as desired, and each computer in the network can likewise be set
to check time on the host computer as often as necessary.
