A Network Time Protocol (NTP) library written in Rust, organized as a Cargo workspace with three crates:

| Crate | Lib name | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| [`ntp_usg-proto`](crates/ntp_usg-proto) | `ntp_proto` | Protocol types, extension fields, and NTS cryptographic primitives |
| [`ntp_usg-client`](crates/ntp_usg-client) | `ntp_client` | NTP client (sync, async tokio/smol, NTS, clock adjustment) |
| [`ntp_usg-server`](crates/ntp_usg-server) | `ntp_server` | NTP server (tokio/smol, NTS-KE) |

## Features

### 🎯 Version 3.1.0 - 100% RFC Compliance

- **RFC 5905 Full Compliance**: Selection, clustering, clock discipline (PLL/FLL), symmetric modes, and broadcast mode
- **RFC 4330 SNTP API**: Simplified client API for one-off time queries
- **RFC 7822 Extension Registry**: Generic dispatch system for extension field handlers
- **Security**: Eliminated unmaintained rustls-pemfile dependency (RUSTSEC-2025-0134)

### Core Features

- 🔒 **Safe & Secure**: `#![deny(unsafe_code)]` crate-wide; only platform FFI in the optional `clock` module uses unsafe
- 📚 **Well Documented**: Comprehensive API documentation with examples
- ⚡ **Configurable Timeouts**: Control request timeouts for different network conditions
- 🔄 **Async Ready**: Optional async support via Tokio or smol
- 🕐 **Y2036 Safe**: Era-aware timestamp handling for the NTP 32-bit rollover
- 🌍 **Multi-Server Support**: Query multiple NTP servers for improved reliability
- 🔐 **Network Time Security**: NTS (RFC 8915) with TLS 1.3 key establishment and AEAD authentication
- 📡 **Continuous Client**: Adaptive poll interval, multi-peer selection, and interleaved mode (RFC 9769)
- 🌐 **IPv6 Dual-Stack**: Automatic IPv4/IPv6 socket binding
- 🧩 **`no_std` Support**: Core protocol parsing works without `std` or `alloc`
- ⏱️ **Clock Adjustment**: Platform-native slew/step correction (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- 📡 **NTP Server**: Full NTPv4 server with rate limiting, access control, and interleaved mode
- 🦀 **Modern Rust**: Edition 2024 with MSRV 1.93
- ✅ **Well Tested**: 290+ tests, CI/CD on Linux, macOS, and Windows

ntp_usg-proto = { version = "3.1", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }  # + Vec-based types
```

## Usage

### SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

For simple, one-off time queries, use the SNTP API (RFC 4330 compliant):

```rust
use ntp_client::sntp;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let result = sntp::request("time.nist.gov:123")?;
    println!("Clock offset: {:.6} seconds", result.offset_seconds);
    println!("Round-trip delay: {:.6} seconds", result.delay_seconds);
    Ok(())
}
```

With async:

```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let result = sntp::async_request("time.cloudflare.com:123").await?;
    println!("Offset: {:.6}s", result.offset_seconds);
    Ok(())
}
```

### Basic Example (Full NTP)

```rust
use chrono::TimeZone;

fn main() {
    let address = "time.nist.gov:123";
    let response = ntp_client::request(address).unwrap();
    let unix_time = ntp_client::unix_time::Instant::from(response.transmit_timestamp);
    let local_time = chrono::Local
        .timestamp_opt(unix_time.secs(), unix_time.subsec_nanos() as _)
        .unwrap();
    println!("Current time: {}", local_time);
}
```

### Custom Timeout

```rust
use std::time::Duration;

let response = ntp_client::request_with_timeout("time.nist.gov:123", Duration::from_secs(10))?;
```

### Async with Tokio

Enable the `tokio` feature:

```toml
[dependencies]
ntp_usg-client = { version = "3.1", features = ["tokio"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }
```

```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let result = ntp_client::async_ntp::request("time.nist.gov:123").await?;
    println!("Offset: {:.6} seconds", result.offset_seconds);
    Ok(())
}
```

### Continuous Client

The continuous client polls servers with adaptive intervals and supports interleaved mode (RFC 9769):

```rust
use ntp_client::client::NtpClient;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let (client, mut state_rx) = NtpClient::builder()
        .server("time.nist.gov:123")
        .min_poll(4)
        .max_poll(10)
        .build()
        .await?;

    tokio::spawn(client.run());

    // Wait for sync state updates.
    while state_rx.changed().await.is_ok() {
        let state = state_rx.borrow();
        println!("Offset: {:.6}s, Delay: {:.6}s", state.offset, state.delay);
    }
    Ok(())
}
```

### NTS (Network Time Security)

Enable the `nts` feature for authenticated NTP:

```toml
[dependencies]
ntp_usg-client = { version = "3.1", features = ["nts"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }
```

```rust
use ntp_client::nts::NtsSession;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut session = NtsSession::from_ke("time.cloudflare.com").await?;
    let result = session.request().await?;
    println!("NTS offset: {:.6}s", result.offset_seconds);
    Ok(())
}
```

### NTS Continuous Client

Combine NTS authentication with the continuous polling client:

```rust
use ntp_client::client::NtpClient;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let (client, mut state_rx) = NtpClient::builder()
        .nts_server("time.cloudflare.com")
        .min_poll(4)
        .max_poll(10)
        .build()
        .await?;

    tokio::spawn(client.run());

    while state_rx.changed().await.is_ok() {
        let state = state_rx.borrow();
        println!("Offset: {:.6}s, NTS: {}", state.offset, state.nts_authenticated);
    }
    Ok(())
}
```

### Async with smol

Enable the `smol-runtime` feature:

```toml
[dependencies]
ntp_usg-client = { version = "3.1", features = ["smol-runtime"] }
smol = "2"
```

```rust
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    smol::block_on(async {
        let result = ntp_client::smol_ntp::request_with_timeout(
            "time.nist.gov:123",
            Duration::from_secs(5),
        ).await?;
        println!("Offset: {:.6} seconds", result.offset_seconds);
        Ok(())
    })
}
```

The smol continuous client uses `Arc<RwLock<NtpSyncState>>` for state sharing:

```rust
use ntp_client::smol_client::NtpClient;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    smol::block_on(async {
        let (client, state) = NtpClient::builder()
            .server("time.nist.gov:123")
            .build()
            .await?;

        smol::spawn(client.run()).detach();

        loop {
            smol::Timer::after(std::time::Duration::from_secs(5)).await;
            let s = state.read().unwrap();
            println!("Offset: {:.6}s, Delay: {:.6}s", s.offset, s.delay);
        }
    })
}
```

### Clock Adjustment

Enable the `clock` feature to correct the system clock based on NTP measurements:

```toml
[dependencies]
ntp_usg-client = { version = "3.1", features = ["clock", "tokio"] }
```

```rust
use ntp_client::clock;

// Gradual correction (slew) for small offsets
clock::slew_clock(0.05)?;

// Immediate correction (step) for large offsets
clock::step_clock(-1.5)?;

// Automatic: slew if |offset| <= 128ms, step otherwise
let method = clock::apply_correction(offset)?;
```

### NTP Server

Enable the `tokio` feature on the server crate:

```toml
[dependencies]
ntp_usg-server = { version = "3.1", features = ["tokio"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }
```

```rust
use ntp_server::protocol::Stratum;
use ntp_server::server::NtpServer;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let server = NtpServer::builder()
        .listen("0.0.0.0:123")
        .stratum(Stratum(2))
        .build()
        .await?;

    server.run().await
}
```

### Multiple Servers

See [crates/ntp_usg-client/examples/multiple_servers.rs](crates/ntp_usg-client/examples/multiple_servers.rs) for a complete example of querying multiple NTP servers.

## Examples

### Production Examples (v3.1.0+)

The following examples demonstrate production-ready deployments with comprehensive monitoring and error handling:

**Multi-Peer Deployment** - [examples/multi_peer_deployment.rs](crates/ntp_usg-client/examples/multi_peer_deployment.rs)

```bash
cargo run -p ntp_usg-client --example multi_peer_deployment --features ntp_usg-client/tokio
```
