Module $5$ Section A

Analyze the difference between external clock$-$based mechanisms and logical clocks in ensuring event ordering in distributed systems. How do these approaches address the challenges of synchronization across distributed nodes?

Examine the role of causal ordering in message delivery within a distributed system. How does it differ from FIFO and total ordering, and what are its specific use cases?

Compare the effectiveness of multicast message ordering techniques in maintaining consistency across distributed systems. What are the trade$-$offs involved in using these techniques?

Module $5$ Section B

Evaluate the effectiveness of using logical clocks for event ordering in distributed systems that require high precision and low latency. What are the potential limitations$,$ and how could they be mitigated?

Critique the use of external clock$-$based synchronization methods in a globally distributed system with varying network latencies. How do these methods impact the overall system performance and reliability?

Assess the applicability of causal ordering in real$-$time distributed applications such as online gaming or financial trading systems. How does it compare with other ordering techniques in terms of ensuring data consistency and system responsiveness?
