    Abstract

    The NTP network is an important part of the Internet’s infrastructure, and one of the most challenging times for the NTP network is around leap seconds. In this paper we look at the behaviour of public servers in the NTP network in 2005 and over the period from 2008 to present, focusing on leap seconds. We review the evolution of the NTP reference implementation with respect to leap seconds and show how the behaviour of the network has changed since 2005. Our results show that although the network’s performance has certain problems, these seem to be reducing over time.
