👉 In computer science and information theory, a synchronization protocol is a communication protocol that ensures that data is sent at the same rate or at an equal speed across multiple devices in real-time. It typically involves a central coordinator, who synchronizes the clocks of all participating devices to maintain a consistent time. A synchronization protocol can be implemented using hardware, such as a clock system on a device, or software, such as a daemon that runs on a remote server. The main goal is to ensure that data is
