The Timestamp is an ICMP message which is used for time synchronization. It consists of the originating timestamp.

Message Format:

  • Type must be set to 13.
  • Code must be set to 0.
  • The Identifier and Sequence Number can be used by the client to match the timestamp reply with the timestamp request.
  • The data transmitted (originate timestamp) in the timestamp is 32 bits in length and is the number of milliseconds since midnight UT.
  • If the time is not available in milliseconds or cannot be provided with respect to midnight UT then any time can be inserted in a timestamp provided the high order bit of the timestamp is also set to indicate this non-standard value.
