LAN-connected systems can coordinate time precisely using the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol. This daemon is for administrators who need sub-millisecond clock synchronization. Time changes can affect logs, databases, TLS, and distributed systems, so network roles and clock authority must be configured carefully.
