Abstract :
Nowadays, accurate and reliable time is an essential requirement in computer network based systems. To fulfill this necessity, time synchronization idea has been developed. Meanwhile in some cases, reliable time is so vital, therefore a redundant structure can be used. In this paper, a time synchronization system is investigated by designing and implementing a time synchronization board capable of synchronizing time of computer networks using NTP (Network Time Protocol). A redundant scheme is also embedded in this work to provide more reliability.
