Abstract
The disclosure describes methods and systems for performing time synchronization in a heterogeneous system. In one example, a method includes evaluating, by a computing system, one or more network conditions of a network to determine whether to perform a time synchronization process with a secondary device in the network, wherein the one or more network conditions include a health score for the secondary device, and, in response to determining, based on the evaluation of the one or more network conditions, to perform the time synchronization process: determining based at least in part on a time indication for a clock on a master device and a time indication for a clock on the secondary device, a time synchronization offset for the secondary device; and sending the time synchronization offset for the secondary device to the secondary device in a data packet.
