Named Data Networking (NDN) architectural features, including multicast data delivery, stateful forwarding, and in-network data caching, have shown promise for applications such as video streaming and file sharing. However, collaborative applications, requiring a multi-producer participation introduce new NDN design challenges. In this paper, we highlight these challenges in the context of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and one of its most widely-used deployments for NTP server discovery, the NTP pool project. We discuss the design requirements for the support of NTP and NTP pool and present general directions for the design of a time synchronization protocol over NDN, coined Named Data Networking Time Protocol (NDNTP).
