Claim:
1. A method of adapting to clock offsets in a network, the method comprising: establishing a plurality of virtual clocks at a responding node, each of the plurality of virtual clocks associated with one of a plurality of requesting nodes; transmitting a plurality of synchronization requests from the responding node to each of the plurality of requesting nodes; responding to each of the plurality of synchronization requests received by each of the plurality of requesting nodes by transmitting a synchronization response back to the responding node; for each of the plurality of synchronization responses received by the responding node, calculating a plurality of round trip delay measurements at the responding node, utilizing the plurality of round trip delay measurements to produce a plurality of synchronization points for each of the plurality of requesting nodes; and and utilizing the round trip delay to determine a latency profile for each of the plurality of requesting nodes.
