1. A method for synchronizing time in a network data processing system comprising the data processing system implemented steps of:

  • receiving a request for time synchronization at a target data processing system, wherein the request is received from a source data processing system;

    placing a current target time at the target data processing system in a reply;

    sending the reply to the source data processing system;

    comparing a current source time from when the reply is received at the source data processing system to the current target time to generate a comparison; and

    generating a synchronization factor using the comparison.
