Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A time server system has been constructed at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne which may be accessed by users of the campus Ethernet. It uses a commercially available radio clock to receive an accurate time signal from the MSF transmitter at Rugby, and can respond to requests from users of the network using a number of different protocols. This paper describes the server system, both hardware and software, and discusses some network management issues raised as a result of the associated experimentation and testing of the system.
