Yes it uses ntp protocol. The info pages for it have some comparisons
with xntp and timed regarding functionality. I just use it on
a dial-up, not a network. But, it estimates time adjustments so as
to keep the clock relatively close even when no time server is
available (off-line). I guess it might not do the trick in some
scenarios (like setting up a stratum 1 time server).
