Class TimesyncExtension
- All Implemented Interfaces:
BayeuxServer.Extension
Timesync extension (server side).
With each handshake or connect, the extension sends timestamps within the ext
field like: {ext:{timesync:{tc:12345567890,l:23,o:4567},...},...}
where:
- tc is the client timestamp in ms since 1970 of when the message was sent.
- l is the network lag that the client has calculated.
- o is the clock offset that the client has calculated.
A CometD server that supports timesync, can respond with an ext field like:
{ext:{timesync:{tc:12345567890,ts:1234567900,p:123,a:3},...},...}
where:
- tc is the client timestamp of when the message was sent,
- ts is the server timestamp of when the message was received
- p is the poll duration in ms - ie the time the server took before sending the response.
- a is the measured accuracy of the calculated offset and lag sent by the client
The relationship between tc, ts, o and l on the server is given by
ts=tc+o+l
(the time the server received the message is the
client time plus the offset plus the network lag). Thus the accuracy of the o
and l settings can be determined with a=tc+o+l-ts
.
When the client has received the response, it can make a more accurate
estimate of the lag as l2=(now-tc-p)/2
(assuming symmetric lag).
A new offset can then be calculated with the relationship on the client that
ts=tc+o2+l2
, thus o2=ts-tc-l2
.
Since the client also receives the a value calculated on the server, it should be possible to analyse this and compensate for some asymmetry in the lag. But the current client does not do this.
