NTP - Network Time Protocol

NuGet Version License: MIT A fully-featured and lightweight NTP (Network Time Protocol) client for .NET.

Supports both synchronous and asynchronous APIs, as well as round-trip delay and local time offset correction.

๐ŸŒ Supported Frameworks

  • .NET Standard 2.0
  • .NET Framework 4.7.2
  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • .NET 6
  • .NET 8

๐Ÿ“ฆ Install via NuGet

dotnet add package NetworkTime

Or via the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package NetworkTime

๐Ÿš€ Features

  • Lightweight and fast UDP-based NTP client
  • Round-trip delay correction
  • Local clock offset calculation
  • Async/await support
  • Easily extendable for custom NTP servers

๐Ÿงช Example Usage

Simple (Async)

var client = new NtpClient();
DateTime localTime = await client.GetNetworkTimeAsync();
Console.WriteLine("NTP Time (Local): " + localTime);

Safe Try Pattern

var client = new NtpClient("time.windows.com");
if (client.TryGetNetworkTime(out DateTime ntpTime))
    Console.WriteLine("Time from NTP: " + ntpTime);
else
    Console.WriteLine("Failed to get NTP time.");

Full Result (with delay and offset)

var result = await client.GetFullNetworkTimeAsync();
Console.WriteLine($"Server: {result.Server}");
Console.WriteLine($"UTC Time: {result.UtcTime}");
Console.WriteLine($"Round-Trip Delay: {result.RoundTripDelay.TotalMilliseconds} ms");
Console.WriteLine($"Local Offset: {result.LocalOffset.TotalMilliseconds} ms");

Class Overview

NtpClient

Method Description
Task<DateTime> GetNetworkTimeAsync() Gets local time from NTP (async)
DateTime GetNetworkTime() Gets local time from NTP (sync)
bool TryGetNetworkTime(out DateTime) Tries to get local NTP time safely
Task<TimeSpan> GetOffsetFromLocalAsync() Returns offset between system and NTP clock
Task<NtpResult> GetFullNetworkTimeAsync() Returns detailed result with delay info

NtpResult

Contains:

  • UTC time
  • Local time (converted)
  • Round-trip delay
  • Clock offset
  • NTP server name
