Question

2. What is the difference between NTP and Berkeley algorithm? (refer to slides #18-21 of Week 4 lecture)

Answer 1

Both are clock sync algorithm the major difference us that in Berkeley algorithm the avg time of all the client is calculated and the mean or average is put as the central time whereas in NTP the central server issues the time to all it clients via access and request method here the central server dominates and the simplest form of physical clock synchronization

hope it helps give a thumbs up:)
