Introduction

Spectracom NetClock® products are GPS-based, Network Time Protocol (NTP) time servers or master clocks. NetClocks typically provide timing services to various networking devices. For years, the common network protocol has been IPv4. The United States Department of Defense, however, as well as other nations (particularly Japan) require the implementation of IPv6 for several reasons:

To provide additional IP addresses
To allow smaller routing tables in routers
To support simpler configuration of devices on the network
To provide better quality of service (QoS) for real-time traffic processing
