News summary: IoT infrastructure and a wide range of mission-critical enterprise applications are still reliant on Network Time Protocol for timing and synchronization ADVA is leveraging
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a system for synchronizing the clocks of hosts and clients across the Internet. NTP is a protocol intended to synchronize all computers participating in the network to within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The core of the protocol is NTP’s clock discipline algorithm that adjusts the local computer’s clock time and tick frequency in response to an external source — such as another trusted NTP server, a radio or satellite receiver, or a telephone modem.
In this post, we analyze the challenges and the different approaches to synchronizing time across nodes in a distributed database.
"In November, Microsoft mitigated a DDoS attack with a throughput of 3.47 Tbps and a packet rate of 340 million packets per second (pps), targeting an Azure customer in Asia. We believe this to be the largest attack ever reported in history," Microsoft reported last week.
Microsoft successfully fended off attacks from hackers who launched 3.47Tbps DDoS attacks. They target Azure customers in Asia.
