Abstract
The invention relates to a peer-to-peer network having at least one first node with a first clock module and part of a peer-to-peer application. Also included is at least one second node with a second clock module and part of the peer-to-peer application. At least one communication connection between the first node and the second node is establishable. The first node comprises at least one first synchronization clock module. The second node comprises at least one second synchronization clock module. At least the first synchronization clock module is configured to transmit at least one first synchronization clock message to the second synchronization clock module via the communication connection, the second synchronization clock module is configured to synchronize the clock signal of the second clock module to the clock signal of the first clock module based on synchronization information included in the first synchronization clock message.
