"The NTP pool is a dynamic collection of networked computers that volunteer to provide highly accurate time via the Network Time Protocol to clients worldwide." "Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in use." - wikipedia.
