synchronization protocols

Synchronization protocols are methods used in computer networks to coordinate processes, devices, or data exchanges, ensuring consistency and proper sequence. They manage how multiple systems communicate and share information so that they stay in agreement, even if there are delays or errors. Examples include protocols for time synchronization, data consistency, or locking resources to prevent conflicts. Essentially, these protocols help different parts of a system work together smoothly, maintaining accuracy and reliability in complex, interconnected environments.
