Abstract
A system, method and storage medium for synchronization between nodes includes transmitting, by a first node, a first synchronization message; determining, by the first node, a first time at which the first synchronization message is transmitted; transmitting, by the first node, a second synchronization message containing a tx timestamp corresponding to the first time; receiving, by a second node, the first synchronization message from the first node; determining, by the second node, a second time at which the first synchronization message is received; storing, by the second node, a rx timestamp corresponding the second time; receiving, by the second node, the second synchronization message from the first node; determining, by the second node, a current local time at which the second synchronization message is received; reading, by the second node, the tx timestamp in the first synchronization message; adjusting, by the second node, the current local time of the second node by adding a difference between the tx timestamp and the rx timestamp; and setting, by the second node, the adjusted current local time as a global time.
