Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to supporting time synchronization across a datacenter network with greater accuracy. The time synchronization includes both software based and hardware based time synchronization mechanisms to provide more precise time synchronization across various nodes in the datacenter network. The software based mechanism can provide the initial coarse time synchronization while the hardware based mechanism can provide the subsequent finer time synchronization.
