What is SNTP?
SNTP, or Simple Network Time Protocol, is a simplified version of NTP used to synchronize device clocks over a network. It is less precise than full NTP but requires fewer resources, making it suitable for devices that do not need highly accurate timekeeping. SNTP is commonly used in embedded systems, IoT devices, and environments where simplicity is prioritized over precision.
