    Accuracy is measured as the maximum divergence between the time delivered by the service and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

    The typical accuracy for synchronization levels achieved by real users are:

    • NTP – 1-10 milliseconds, depending on the network implementation.
    • PTP – 50 microseconds or less, depending on the network architecture and other factors in the customer deployment.
