Clock skew

Specify maximum clock skew in seconds

defaultClockSkewClockSkew Source #

Default maximum permissible clock skew

See ClockSkew for details. We allow for 5 seconds skew by default.

data ClockSkew Source #

Maximum permissible clock skew

When running NTP, systems clocks will never be perfectly synchronized. The maximum clock skew records how much of a difference we consider acceptable.

For example. Suppose

  • Two nodes A and B
  • A's clock is 0.5 ahead of B's
  • A produces a block and sends it to B
  • When B translates the SlotNo of that block to a time, it may find that it is 0.5 seconds ahead of its current clock (worst case).

The maximum permissible clock skew decides if B will consider this block to be valid (even if it will not yet consider it for chain seleciton) or as invalid (and disconnect from A, since A is sending it invalid blocks).

Use defaultClockSkew when unsure.

Testing

dontCheckMonad m ⇒ CheckInFuture m blk Source #

Trivial InFuture check that doesn't do any check at all

This is useful for testing and tools such as the DB converter.

miracle Source #

Arguments

∷ ∀ m blk. (MonadSTM m, HasHeader (Header blk)) 
STM m SlotNo

Get current slot

Word64

Maximum clock skew (in terms of slots)

CheckInFuture m blk 

If by some miracle we have a function that can always tell us what the correct slot is, implementing CheckInFuture is easy

NOTE: Use of miracle in tests means that none of the hard fork infrastructure for converting slots to time is tested.
