[EN] Keeping Time - in Memoriam of David Mills (with Harlan Stenn)

    English Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution.

    Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):

    • https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of Delaware (which still exists). There are a lot of links to his work on NTP
      • https://eecs.engin.umich.edu/stories/remembering-alum-david-mills-who-brought-the-internet-into-perfect-time
    • https://www.ntp.org/ The Network Time Protocol homepage with tons of details and specifications on how it all works
    • https://www.nwtime.org The Network Time Foundation
    • https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/brief/arch/arch.pdf a presentation on how NTP works
    • https://www.nwtime.org/bio/harlan-stenn/ Harlan Stenn's Bio
    • https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc778 I think this is the first RFC of the early version of NTP
    • https://www.ntp.org/reflib/rfc/ This contains a list of all RFCs related to NTP
