S.P.I.T has setup it’s own internal NTP server to keep it’s network devices & servers with the standard date & time. This timeserver also gets synchronized with external regional timeservers with time drift less than a few milliseconds.
The Institute’s network is linked to the Internet via a set of dedicated leased lines enabling round-the-clock Internet connectivity on the campus. The Internet leased lines are availed from different service providers so that the provision of redundant ISPs is there in order to have seamless connectivity across the campus. All the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from whom the Institute has procured Internet bandwidth have installed fibre optics link from the campus to their hub. This ensures very high quality of bandwidth to the Internet.
