Abstract
A system and method is provided for synchronizing time of day information between and among communication adapters. Time of day information, which is desired for proper message packet ordering and delivery, is recovered in a process in which a master adapter, connected to a master node, periodically broadcasts current time of day information to slave adapters which operate to determine whether or not drift correction is to be applied.
