Lamport's clock has the advantage of requiring no changes in the behavior of the underlying protocol, but has the disadvantage that clocks are entirely under the control of the logical-clock protocol and may as a result make huge jumps when a message is received.
Because the protocol can't change the clock values on its own, when a message is received with a timestamp later than the current clock value, its delivery is delayed until the clock exceeds the message timestamp, at which point the receive event is assigned the extended clock value of the time of delivery.
If some process's clock is too far off, it will have trouble getting its messages delivered quickly (if its clock is ahead) or receiving messages (if its clock is behind)—the net effect is to add a round-trip delay to that process equal to the difference between its clock and the clock of its interlocutor.

Stratum (sys.stratum, peer.stratum, pkt.stratum) This is an integer indicating the stratum of the logical clock.
Logical Clocks In order to implement a logical clock, the host must be equipped with a hardware clock consisting of an oscillator and interface and capable of the required precision and stability.
The logical clock is implemented using a 48-bit Clock Register, which increments at 1000-Hz (at the decimal point), a 32-bit Clock-Adjust Register, which is used to slew the Clock Register in response to offset corrections, and a Drift-Compensation Register, which is used to trim the oscillator frequency.

 CS333 Lab A-2: Logical Clocks
However, if the clocks at the sender and the receiver are sufficiently skewed, a clock-based trace of the events might report that the receive occurred before the send.
Logical clocks do not "tick" like real time clocks, but instead keep track of the order of events that occur at each process, and ensure that events are assigned consistent logical times according to the following happens before relation.
Whenever a process receives a message (receive event), it first compares its own logical clock time to the logical time sent with the message, and sets its own logical clock to be the maximum of the two times.

Synchronizing Network Clocks The algorithms described in the previous section are designed to achieve a high degree of accuracy and stability of the logical clocks in each participating host.
Note the different nomenclature: The term "reference clock" applies to the physical clock itself, while the term "reference host" applies to the logical clock of the host to which it is connected.
The clock is read via a 1200-bps asynchronous line, which introduces an additional delay of about 7 ms between the on-time transition of the first character and the interrupt at the middle of the first stop bit.

 RFC 957 (rfc957) - Experiments in network clock synchronization
Such clocks are readily available in several models ranging in accuracies of a few hundred milliseconds to less than a RFC 957 September 1985 Experiments in Network Clock Synchronization millisecond and are typically synchronized to special ground-based or satellite-based radio broadcasts.
In typical clock interface designs such as the DEC KMV11-A RFC 957 September 1985 Experiments in Network Clock Synchronization the Counter Register is implemented in the interface as a buffered counter driven by a crystal oscillator.
RFC 957 September 1985 Experiments in Network Clock Synchronization Given the considerations above, it would seem feasable for hosts to synchronize logical clocks to a particular power grid, but only if corrections were transmitted often enough to maintain the required accuracy and these corrections were delivered to the hosts essentially at the same time.

For this purpose each virtual clock residing in a physical host is assumed to run in synchronism with zero offset relative to the logical clock of that host.
An uncorrected logical clock based on this equipment could be expected to maintain time to within a millisecond for at least eight minutes and to within three minutes in a year.
Once each second the period of the logical clock is increased by a quantity equal to 1/1024 of this variable and the variable is decreased by the same quantity.

"logical clocks" can be used so that distributed processes agree on the order of events (not absolute time), i.e.
Lamport's logical clocks are used for timestamping messages so that processes can agree on the order that messages are sent among them.
All processes agree that a message with a smaller timestamp was sent out "earlier" than a message with a larger timestamp, although in real absolute time terms that may not be true due to clock skew between the times processes update their logical clocks from the timestamps of incoming messages.

 CIS 307: Clocks
All logical clocks, whether scalar or vector, suffer of a basic problem: though they represent that an even occurred (or not) before another, they do not represent before by how much, that is, there is no measure of elapsed time.
Another problem of logical clocks, even vector clocks, is that they cannot account for information exchanged outside of the computer systems, say because user A at system 1 receives output from the system and says that information to user B at system 2.
The are an unlimited number of uses for synchronized physical clocks and for logical clocks.

A first possibility is offered by "logical clocks", then "vector clocks" improve on the same principle.

 Logical clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A logical clock is a mechanism for capturing chronological and causal relationships in a distributed system.
As physical clocks cannot be perfectly synchronized, event timestamps derived from readings of physical clocks cannot in general be used to find out the order in which events happened.

 COP 5611 L03
We can extend the partial ordering of the happened-before relation to a total ordering on ervents, by using the logical clocks and resolving any ties by an arbitrary rule based on the processor/process ID.
That is, the ordering we get from Lamport's clocks is not enough to guarantee that if two events precede one another in the ordering relation they are also causally related.
The following Vector Clock scheme is intended to improve on this.

How close the clocks can be resynchronized depends upon how far apart they are allowed to drift (synchronization interval R).
Instead of sending numbers, the processes send their clocks; instead of taking a majority, they use the median value.
We compute CORR based on the midpoint of local time for all processors in the system, barring those where faults are likely to occur.
