The timestamp mechanism is used for a wide variety of synchronization purposes, such as assigning a sequence order for a multi-event transaction so that if a failure occurs the transaction can be voided. Another way that a timestamp is used is to record time in relation to a particular starting point. In IP telephony , for example, the Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) assigns sequential timestamps to voice packet s so that they can be buffer ed by the receiver, reassembled, and delivered without error.
Most cases of shingles last 3 to 5 weeks. 1  The first sign is often burning or tingling pain; sometimes, it includes numbness or itching on one side of the body.  Somewhere between 1 and 5 days after the tingling or burning feeling on the skin, a red rash will appear.
When a person is getting over shingles that are on their body, the blisters start to crust over, and the pain and irritation tend to disappear over a period of one to three weeks. When the shingles virus damages a nerve, you can have pain or tingling for months or even years after the actual blister rash has healed.
