You mean most of the time Tw(as ChronoSync named it) expired and your nodes did processing of a corresponding sync interest, so missed some others-generated data?<br>

Do you think that is timers(as in ChornoSync) is the right way to go forward or was it more like Proof Of Concept to showcase that synchronization is possible? Personally I don't like timers which are associated with network (in this case propagation delay), I had really bad experience when I did beacon synchronization which was almost like the one mentioned in ChronoSync in my earlier project and every time we end up changing the timers.<br>

I am not sure what/which ChronoSync "timers" you are concerned about ...<br>
Sync is not just "possible", it's an importance piece in the architecture.<br>
<br>
Would be interested in hearing more about your lessons from your beacon sync.<br>
<br>
The specific design of ChronoSync, as described in ICNP 2013 paper, has its limitations; a revision has been worked on, hope to make it solid enough to share soon.<br>

I can see the this can be achieved through NDNFS, but still the other nodes will not have change in version of the file. So, how will the new node who is requesting for that file will get to know which version to ask for?<br>

> NDNFS is a piece of software that demonstrates the idea of integrating application data unit (i.e., file blocks) with network data unit (i.e., NDN data packets). It was originally designed to be a local file system without any remote replication. Therefore the data consistency issue was conveniently ignored.<br>

I also see that Chrono-sync does something like this but it has waiting timer for propagation delays. So either NDNS is talking to every node in the whole network or some other way.<br>
