NTP.org

NTP.org is the official home of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) Project, which develops and maintains the open-source reference implementation of NTPβ€”a protocol designed to synchronize computer clocks over networks to a common timebase. The protocol is critical infrastructure that ensures the reliability of billions of devices worldwide, including satellites, GPS systems, 5G networks, financial services, and healthcare systems.

NTP Pool Project

The domain is closely associated with the NTP Pool Project (ntppool.org), a massive virtual cluster of volunteer-operated time servers:

  • 6,045+ servers distributed globally (Europe: 3,802, North America: 1,266, Asia: 570)
  • Serves hundreds of millions of systems worldwide
  • Handles trillions of DNS requests from billions of clients
  • Default time server for most Linux distributions and networked appliances
  • Nearly 2,000 volunteer server operators maintain the network

How It Works

The NTP Pool uses GeoIP data to route DNS requests to geographically appropriate servers, ensuring low-latency time synchronization. The system is monitored from multiple global points to maintain reliability.

History & Governance

The NTP Pool Project has been operational for over 20 years. The broader NTP Project is backed by the Network Time Foundation, which supports ongoing research and development. The project is led by Ask BjΓΈrn Hansen with community contributors, and all source code is publicly available on GitHub.

Analysis

Hierarchy

Among the subdomains of ntp.org are ns2.ntp.org, twiki.ntp.org, support.ntp.org, mail2.ntp.org, psp2.ntp.org and a few other host names.

IP Addresses

ntp.org directs to three IP numbers: 204.93.207.22, 209.148.110.246 and 2001:1838:2000:41b::80:0.

www.nwtime.org, slb0.srs1.ntfo.org, www.networktimefoundation.org and two other host names share IP numbers with ntp.org.

Name Servers

The DNS delegation for ntp.org covers 4 name servers β€” dns1.udel.edu, dns2.udel.edu, anyns.pch.net and ns1.everett.org.

There is at least partial name server overlap between ntp.org and other domains β€” 75.80.74.in-addr.arpa, 84.80.74.in-addr.arpa, 44.102.66.in-addr.arpa and two more among them.

It is common to see these name servers paired with ns2.pch.net, ns1.pch.net, adns1.nnn.upenn.edu and seven other name servers.

Hostnames that resolve to two IP addresses:

The A records for anyns.pch.net return 204.61.216.4 and 2001:500:14:6004:ad::1.

The A records for ns1.everett.org return 66.220.13.229 and 2001:470:1:205::229.

Host names with one IP number:

dns1.udel.edu resolves to the IP address 128.175.13.16.

dns2.udel.edu resolves to the IP address 128.175.13.17.

Mail Servers

Mail for ntp.org is handled by a single mail server, mx0.chi1.ntfo.org.

Like lists.ntp.org and nwtime.org, ntp.org has the same mail server arrangement as several other domains.

mx0.chi1.ntfo.org resolves to 204.93.207.18 and no other IP number.
