Internet NTP Working Group Internet Draft The Beacon Internet Time Protocol (BITP) is intended to provide shorter non-amplfying time for less discriminating clients or flexble higher range time at minimal additional network use.

Introduction The Network Time Protocol (RFCs 958, 1059, 1119, 1305 & 5905) has long been a staple of Internet time synchronization, It has however become ossified. The Daytime (RFC 867) and Time (RFC 868) protocols provide increasingly compact time service, but have fallen out of favor because of unchecked UDP amplification. We can do better. ¤BeaconÐ
