#
# Module vtime - Keep virtual time between two nodes.
#
# We try for synchronised clocks by sending a packet of the for
# (1,mytime,0) to the other side, and waiting (at most) a second for
# a reply. This reply has the form (2,mytime,histime), and we can
# estimate the time difference by defining histime to be exactly half-way
# between the time we sent our message and got our reply. We send a
# final (3,mynewtime,histime) message to allow the other side to do the
# same computations.
#
# Note that the protocol suffers heavily from the 2-army problem.
# It'll have to do until I can read up on time-sync protocols, though.
