|
NTP Server
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
The ``NTPServer`` provides a NTP Server simulation by extending the base Service class.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Simulates NTP requests and NTPPacket transfer across a network
|
|
|
|
|
- Leverages the Service base class for install/uninstall, status tracking, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
- Install on a Node via the ``SoftwareManager`` to start the database service.

|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NTP request and responses use a ``NTPPacket`` object
|
|
|
|
|
- Extends Service class for integration with ``SoftwareManager``.
|

|
NTP Client
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The NTPClient provides a client interface for connecting to the ``NTPServer``.
