 | | 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. |
