ABSTRACT:
A method for time synchronization of a computer network by a main computer, in which case, for synchronization with an N-th interrupt, a time signal corresponding to the instant of the interrupt plus a time interval between the interrupts is transmitted on an ATM bus and the secondary computers to be synchronized set their clock to this transmitted time signal with the next interrupt.
