Given the clock drift rate of a node is 2ms per hour, how much time will it drift over a week? Calculate the total drift.
💡 Hint: Multiply the rate by the total hours in a week.
A client using Christian's algorithm estimates its clock to be 50ms off, but due to high network latency, the time reported to it is 80ms off. Discuss the implications of this discrepancy.
💡 Hint: Consider how critical timing is in a distributed system.
