NTS, the NTP replacement are missing on article[edit]

NTS is like NTP and advanced by a TLS serure layer.
Have the RFC 8915, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8915
Are supported by https://www.cloudflare.com/time/

I agree that NTS needs to be added in here. More information and sources can be found at links off of https://www.networktimesecurity.org/resources/ and https://www.networktimesecurity.org/news/ - Dyork (talk) 01:02, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

+1 - Reference 78 points to the IETF draft, but the draft was approved as RFC 8915 nearly a year ago.

Network Time Security redirects to this article. NTS and its RFC is mentioned in the lead and also in Network_Time_Protocol#Security_concerns. ~Kvng (talk) 16:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Challenge to "chrony designed for VM" claim[edit]

As I write this, the article has the sentence "It is also designed for virtual machines, a more unstable environment." under the chrony section. The main chrony article in the Wikipedia does not contain "virtual" or "VM" so it doesn't support this claim. The reference attached to that sentence (Both, David. "Manage NTP with Chrony". Opensource.com. Archived from the original on 29 June 2019. Retrieved 29 June 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190629174030/https://opensource.com/article/18/12/manage-ntp-chrony) does not make any such claim.

I suggest that the sentence (and reference) be removed. MabryTyson (talk) 21:14, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
