The '''intersection algorithm''' is an [[agreement algorithm]] used to select sources for estimating accurate time from a number of [[noise|noisy]] time sources, it forms part of the modern [[Network Time Protocol]]. It is a modified form of [[Marzullo's algorithm]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1305#ref-DEC89 |title=RFC 1305 - Network Time Protocol (Version 3) Specification, Implementation and Analysis |first= |last= |work=tools.ietf.org |year=2013 |quote=Digital Time Service Functional Specification Version T.1.0.5.
