ntp - NTP 客户端能否与 SNTP 服务器配合使用？

Question

SNTP 是对完整 NTP 规范的简化。

我想对集成在 Windows XP 中的内部 SNTP 服务器使用完整的 NTP 客户端。这会起作用还是 NTP 客户端需要一个完整的 NTP 服务器才能工作？

Answer 1

我在 SNTP RFC 2030 中找到了答案:

SNTP Version 4 is designed to coexist with existing NTP and SNTP Version 3 clients and servers, as well as proposed Version 4 clients and servers. When operating with current and previous versions of NTP and SNTP, SNTP Version 4 requires no changes to the protocol or implementations now running or likely to be implemented specifically for NTP ir SNTP Version 4. To a NTP or SNTP server, NTP and SNTP clients are undistinguishable; to a NTP or SNTP client, NTP and SNTP servers are undistinguishable.

所以，是的，它会起作用。
