You don't mix up STP with (S)NTP, do you? The former is IBM's new System z timer protocol; the latter is a TCP/IP based timer protocol. (S)NTP can be used to synchronise clocks across the Internet but it can as well be use to synchronise some isolated machines which happen to have TCP/IP interconnections amongst themselves.
