5 kx The TIME protocol, RFC-868
5 kx ==========================
5 kx
5 kx The TIME protocol is described in RFC-868.
5 kx
5 kx The time server is listening on TCP/UDP port 37 and sends a 32-bit binary number
5 kx (seconds since 1900-01-01 00:00.00 UTC).
5 kx
5 kx This base will serve until time stamp 4294967295, which will be on 2036-02-07 06:28.14 UTC.
5 kx
5 kx Example: 3346003716 , which translates to 2006-01-11 21:28:49.
5 kx
5 kx The standardized data format refers to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), no other time zones.
5 kx This protocol cannot estimate network delays or report additional information.
5 kx Note: Time stamp on 1970-01-01 00:00.00 UTC (begin of the unix epoch) was 2208988800.
