A method and system for synchronizing clocks on networked computers (206) is provided. This invention works with modem high-speed workstations and networks to improve clock synchronization between the computers. This invention employs techniques, which accurately predict the phase and frequency noise for each synchronization source and network path. Techniques are included which reduce the impact of delay spikes and oscillator wander while speeding up initial convergence. Also included are improved clock discipline processes, which can operate in frequency-lock, phase-lock and hybrid modes. This invention is specifically adapted to synchronize the clocks of host computers, routers, servers and workstations on LANs, WANs and the Intranet, WAN or LAN. |
