Question 1
A distributed banking system updates account balances on two separate servers simultaneously. Describe the potential issues that can arise from unsynchronized clocks and suggest a synchronization strategy to mitigate this risk.
๐ก Hint: Consider possible consequences if timestamps overlap.
Question 2
Design a simple protocol to handle clock skew using external synchronization. Describe how nodes would adjust their clocks upon receiving time data from a time server.
๐ก Hint: Think about the implications of quick versus gradual adjustments.
