NTP does not require a permanent connection to work. It will function albeit
not quite as well, if you have an intermittent connection. usually the default
case for a time reference is the local clock which is the clock you are
adjusting. Seems kind of silly but, it's a clever way of handling the case of
no time server available by the network case.
