## Package net.i2p.time Description

Time synchronization utilities and interfaces for I2P applications.

This package provides the core time synchronization functionality needed by I2P applications to maintain accurate clocks and coordinate timing across the distributed network. The full router-specific implementation is now in net.i2p.router.time, while this package contains the essential interfaces and utilities that are available to all I2P applications.

Key Components:

- Time Synchronization: Interfaces for coordinating time with network peers
- Clock Skew Management: Handling of time differences between routers
- NTP Integration: Network Time Protocol support for accurate timekeeping

Usage Notes:

- Applications should use the interfaces in this package for time-related operations
- Router-specific time synchronization implementation is in net.i2p.router.time
- Proper time synchronization is critical for I2P's security and performance
