{{short description|Algorithm for selecting the best sources for time estimation}}

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 name=":0">{{cite journal |url= http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1305#ref-DEC89 |title=RFC 1305 - Network Time Protocol (Version 3) Specification, Implementation and Analysis |website=tools.ietf.org |year=2013 |doi=10.17487/RFC1305 |quote=Digital Time Service Functional Specification Version T.1.0.5.
