Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for peer-to-peer event ordering using a two part event identifier. In use, a peer-to-peer communication channel is established by a first peer device with a second peer device. A current event identifier is initialized at the first peer device, and the second peer device initializes a different current event identifier at the second peer device. A plurality of events are communicated between the first peer device and the second peer device, where the events are each configured to include an event identifier that is the current event identifier of a sender of the event, and where the current event identifier includes two portions that are updated differently when sending and receiving events. Further, the events are ordered by the first peer device, using the event identifier included with each of the events.
