Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 668 discussion

If you're referring to CompTIA study materials, CompTIA does cover foundational networking concepts and might touch on time synchronization in a broader context. However, CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ books may not delve deeply into specific protocols like PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for accurate time synchronization. In the context of CompTIA materials, you'd generally expect to see: B. NTP (Network Time Protocol) as the recognized protocol for time synchronization. NTP is widely used for syncing time across networks and devices. So, if you're preparing for a CompTIA exam and basing your answer solely on the material provided by CompTIA, then the answer would likely lean towards: B. NTP Always refer to the specific study material and objectives outlined by CompTIA for the most accurate preparation.

A. PTP is not part of the comptia network+ catalogue. At least as far as i can see.

B - NTP

It's 100% B - NTP. PTP is a distractor and is rarely implemented.

PTP is not on the syllabus, not in the objectives so cannot be the answer. Its NTP. Just FYI, Comptia do state that items from outside the Syllabus may appear in questions but they cannot be the correct answer.

NTP. That's what's covered in the material and any lower level stratum will be sufficient. You people that went and looked up PTP got hit with a red herring. PTP is not covered in this material and the fact that many of you had to go look it up points to that fact. Don't make it more complicated than it is. This is an easy test.

Fun fact: If you have a copy of the full cengage net+ PDF, and use the "Find" tool (CTRL + f) and type in the word "Precision" nothing comes up. I'm sticking with NTP.

PTP is the correct answer

There is no concept about Precision Time Protocol in CompTIA network+ study materials so I'll go with NTP

A. PTP (Precision Time Protocol) For factory automation solutions that require accurate timing between devices, the network administrator should implement PTP (Precision Time Protocol). PTP is designed to synchronize clocks in a network with high accuracy, ensuring precise timekeeping among devices. It is commonly used in applications where synchronized timing is critical, such as industrial automation, telecommunications, and financial systems.

After looking up PTP (Precision Time Protocol), I have to go with that. I have two Network+ books for N10-008 and the official exam objectives, and there is no mention of PTP anywhere. If it is important enough to be in the exam, it should be in the objectives!

PTP is a highly accurate time synchronization protocol used in industries and applications where precise time is critical, such as telecommunications, finance, and industrial automation.

its A, robots need to be precise in a factory

I meant B. NTP not D

D. Is PTP one of the exam objectives because I didn't see it mentioned? I know chat gbt says ptp but it is more expensive and I thought NTP is more common. I could be wrong.

A. PTP (Precision Time Protocol). PTP is designed for precisely synchronizing the clocks of devices within a network. It provides highly accurate time distribution by synchronizing the clocks to a master clock, ensuring the devices maintain very close time alignment. This level of precision is crucial in scenarios where timing between devices needs to be synchronized, such as in factory automation solutions where events or processes are time-dependent and require exact timing for proper execution.
