Communication Channels and Clocks in Distributed Systems

Two concurrent events can have the same timestamp.

By using a process identifier along with the timestamp (Vector Clocks).

To enhance Lamport Clocks by enabling detection of concurrent events alongside partial ordering and causality violations.
