+
+    <para><filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> is a system service
+    that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a
+    remote Network Time Protocol server. It also saves the local time
+    to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this
+    to possibly advance the system realtime clock on subsequent
+    reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system
+    lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.</para>
+
+    <para>The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global
+    settings in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timesyncd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+    the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename>
+    files, and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
