A method for maintaining a correct time in a distributed processing system involves clerk nodes maintaining their local clocks by requesting time intervals from server nodes, and server nodes maintaining their local clocks either by requesting time intervals from other server nodes or by receiving time information from an outside source. Server nodes also provide time intervals to requesting clerk nodes and requesting server nodes with such a method. System time is always increasing and monotonic and faulty servers are detected periodically. |
