  Abstract

We propose a new Internet time synchronization model using dynamic linear model and introduce the characteristics of internet transmission delays. SNTP (Simple Network Tim Protocol) has been widely used as a time synchronization method on the Internet. While SNTP provides a very simple usage, SNTP may not provide the stable services, since SNTP does not consider the several essential error factors. In order to overcome the instability of SNTP, we analyze the process of time estimation of SNTP and find that the difference between forward transmission delay and backward transmission delay operates the main error on the estimation of an time offset.
