Suppose hosts A and B are connected by a link. Host A continuously transmits the current time
Question:
Suppose hosts A and B are connected by a link. Host A continuously transmits the current time from a high-precision clock, at a regular rate, fast enough to consume all the available bandwidth. Host B reads these time values and writes them, each paired with its own time from a local clock synchronized with A’s. Give qualitative examples of B’s output assuming the link has:
(a) high bandwidth, high latency, low jitter.
(b) low bandwidth, high latency, high jitter.
(c) high bandwidth, low latency, low jitter, occasional lost data.
For example, a link with zero jitter, a bandwidth high enough to write on every other clock tick, and a latency of 1 tick might yield something like (0000, 0001), (0002, 0003), (0004, 0005).
