Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for synchronizing applications of network terminals are provided. Time information, which is synchronized and managed with other terminals for controlling use of media in the network in a media access control (MAC) layer, is transmitted to an application layer so as to directly execute the application using a synchronization interface. Accordingly, it is possible to synchronize applications without exchanging packets for obtaining synchronization information of terminals using a TCP/IP protocol.
