Abstract
A method and apparatus for a first service processing system receiving and responding to a service request using a time context of a service time protocol is described. The method may include receiving a network based message associated with a service. The method may also include determining whether a service time context has been passed to the first service processing system from a second service processing system in the request. Furthermore, the method can include when no service time context is determined to have been passed to the first service processing system in the request, generating a current service time from a combination of a current physical time of the first service processing system and an initial counter time, performing a task associated with the service, and transmitting a second network based message that comprises the current service time as time context metadata associated with the performance of the task to a second service processing system.
