IPv6 Time Servers (NTP)

Setting the time on computers and other Internet-connected devices is critical.  As we move to IPv6, there needs to be access to Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers available over IPv6.  The following time servers are known to work over IPv6.

NTP Host Name
Comments
2.pool.ntp.orgThe NTP Pool Project provides a global, decentralized network of time servers.  Using the NTP pool is relatively straightforward however only "2.pool.ntp.org" is available over IPv6.
ntp.eu.sixxs.net

ntp.us.sixxs.net

ntp.ap.sixxs.net
The SixXS project makes their time servers available over both IPv4 and IPv6.
ntp6a.rollernet.us

ntp6b.rollernet.us
Roller Network has publicly made two time servers available over IPv6.

We would like to make this list as comprehensive as possible.  If you know of additional NTP time servers available over IPv6 that we should include here, please leave a comment or send us a message.
