Talk:Lamport timestamp

[Lam78]	L. Lamport: Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System, Communications of the ACM 21(7), pp.558-565, 1978.

I've added a new section, Implications: where I tried to explain what a Lamport clock actually means. I did this by reading Lamport's paper, so I hope I didn't make a mistake. Nadalle (talk) 06:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I didn't like the explanation that stated two events could not have the same timestamp. This supposes a total order on the system in question. I changed this to refelect that a partial order must be maintained and prefixed that by saying two events cannot occur simultaneously on any single entity. Please comment on this explanation if you wish to change it, thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.189.48.210 (talk) 19:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
