A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Network Time Protocol WG of the IETF. Title : Network Time Protocol Leap Smear REFID Author : Harlan Stenn Filename : draft-stenn-ntp-leap-smear-refid-01.txt Pages : 5 Date : 2018-10-04 Abstract: Leap Seconds are part of UTC. NTP timestamps are based on POSIX timestamps, which require each day to have exactly 86,400 seconds per day. Some applications and environments choose to "smear" leap second corrections over a period that can last up to 24 hours' time, and implement NTP servers that offer smeared time to clients asking them for the time. Both NTP clients and operators have no current way to tell if an NTP server is offering leap-smeared time or not. This is a problem. This proposal offers a mechanism by which clients (and operators) can trivially detect a server that is offering leap-smeared time. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-stenn-ntp-leap-smear-refid/ There are also htmlized versions available at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-stenn-ntp-leap-smear-refid-01 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-stenn-ntp-leap-smear-refid-01 A diff from the previous version is available at: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-stenn-ntp-leap-smear-refid-01 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
