NTP is a protocol used to synchronize the clocks accross the hosts and devices on a network. The importance of the protocol of the protocol is extremely high considering that directory services rely on clock settings for logon purposes. Also the verification of certificate validity, the use of strong authentication such as two factor authentication and other mechanisms are dependent on this.
If the target network has a local NTP service it is a tell tale of a larger network infrastructure.
NTP uses UDP port 123 for communication.
