The Network Time Protocol service can be used to synchronize computer clocks. Explain why, even with this service, no guaranteed bound is given for the difference between two clock

Answer:With unbounded message transmission time, clock differences are necessarily unbounded.

Explanation:Any user of network time protocol service must communicate by means of message passed over a communication channel. If there is a possibilty for bound to be set on time to transmit a message over a communication

channel, then the difference between the client's clock and the value supplied by the network tiime protocol service would also be

bounded.
