The invention relates to a method for synchronizing computer clocks in networks used for the transmission of information according to which information is dispatched with a time stamp when being dispatched and which is re-transmitted with a time stamp in a confirmation of receipt. The time stamps are inserted in the outgoing or arriving data packet by a clock module (8) mounted downstream of a network controller (4, 10) once said network controller has authorized transmission. A CPU (2) generates actuator signals that are provided with an identifier and that correct the clock modules (8) on the basis of a comparison between the time stamps in a confirmation of receipt of the addressee of the information and the time stamp of the corresponding transmitted information.
Method for the synchronizing of computer clocks in networks for the information transfer, in which information is sent with a time stamp at the moment of its sending, and is returned with a time stamp in a receipt confirmation, characterized that the time stamps are inserted by a post-connected clock module (8) into the outgoing or incoming data packet after the release of the transfer by a network controller (4, 10), and that a CPU (2) generates positional signals for the correction of the clock modules (4) that are equipped with identification from the comparison of time stamps in a receipt confirmation by the addressee of the information and the time stamp of the relating information sent in consideration of the known or measured run times of the signals between the sender and the addressee.
Device for synchronizing computer clocks in networks for the information transfer, in which the information is equipped with a time stamp at the moment of its sending, and with a time stamp at the moment of receipt at the target address, characterized that a clock module (8) is assigned to each network controller (4, 10), which contains a packet detection logic and a clock controller (11), whereby positioning, control, and/or status signals sent out by a CPU (2) are performed, or processed after the clock controller (11) checks the target address in the network controller (4, 10), and information is entered into the detected packet.
Data packet for the synchronization of clock circuits in information transfer networks for networked computers, characterized that the data packet contains at least one identification for packet types in addition to the fields for the target address, source address, and data, which is characteristic for positioning, control, and/or status query signals.
