Pre-Alpha. This page describes behavior that may change.

Ze includes an NTP client plugin for system clock synchronization. The plugin provides a clock readiness gate that other components (interface management, BFD) can check before making time-sensitive decisions.

Configuration

NTP is configured as a plugin:

ntp {
    enabled true;
    server 0.pool.ntp.org;
    server 1.pool.ntp.org;
}

The plugin synchronizes the system clock on startup and periodically thereafter.

Clock readiness gate

The NTP plugin signals clock readiness via the event bus. Components that depend on accurate time (BFD timers, certificate validation) can wait for the clock to be synchronized before proceeding.
