Class NetworkTimeProtocol
Utility class to assist with Network Time Protocol (NTP) conversions. NTP timestamps are 64-bit values that can span just over 136 years, from 1900-01-01 to 2036-02-08. Compact NTP timestamps are 32-bit values that can span span just over 18 hours. These utility methods guarantee precision to the millisecond.

Properties
Absolute
Gets an instance of NetworkTimeProtocol that uses 1900-01-01 as the reference date, for use cases where the absolute wall-clock time represented is important.

Relative
Gets an instance of NetworkTimeProtocol that uses zero as the reference date, for use cases where the time is relative to other times, and the reference time is not significant.
Declaration
public static NetworkTimeProtocol Relative { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| NetworkTimeProtocol |
UtcNow
Gets the current UTC time in NTP format.
Declaration
public long UtcNow { get; }Property Value
