Abstract
The NTP network is an important part of the
Internet’s infrastructure, and one of the most challenging times
for the NTP network is around leap seconds. In this paper we look
at the behaviour of public servers in the NTP network in 2005 and
over the period from 2008 to present, focusing on leap seconds.
We review the evolution of the NTP reference implementation
with respect to leap seconds and show how the behaviour of the
network has changed since 2005. Our results show that although
the network’s performance has certain problems, these seem to
be reducing over time.
