Hi,
Stable and consensus-based with many implementations of a simple
clock-setting
protocol for constrained devices (evolved from the original Google work).
Cheers,

This document describes Roughtime, an experimental protocol that aims to
achieve
two things: secure, rough time synchronization (even for clients without
any
idea of what time it is) and a format for clients to report any
inconsistencies
they observe between timeservers. This document specifies the on-wire
protocol
required for these goals and discusses aspects of the ecosystem needed for
it to work.
This document is a product of the Network Time Protocols Working Group of
the IETF.
EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
