Multiprocessing, Distributed Processing, and Networks: Loosely Coupled (Distributed/Network) Systems

Time-ordering of events

Event timestamps

2. Process A		Process B		Process C
   Time
   Event	Time
   Event	Time
   Event
   100	Send to B	101	Send to C	99	Send to A
   101	Receive from C	102	Receive from A	100	Receive from B, bumps own clock to 102

   Source -> Destination	Sending timestamp	Receiving timestamp
   A -> B	100	102
   B -> C	101	102
   C -> A	99	101
