SNTP

SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) desribes a simplified form of NTP. While they both use the same network package format, a SNTP software does not reach the level of accuracy compared to a full implementation of NTP and does not include a very good protection against wrong/bad time information (hardly any protection at all in almost all cases).

SNTP is defined in RFC 2030.
