			From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol, ''"Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks."''
			Practically, it allows you to have current time/date on your APF even if your don't have an [[RTC]] (you will need an Internet connection or a GPS ;-)).
