Note: Q is not about time/timestamps synchronization. It's only about internal data.

Example: I have a node (A) running on a local machine under ROS. Node has internal data structure stored in memory. Let's say it's just a cpp std::unsorted_map. Now somewhere in the same local network on the other ROS machine I have another node (B). And B also has std::unsorted_map. Now I want 2 maps were always synced between 2 nodes so that they always were the same.

I know I can write a code to do it myself, but I'd like to get a hint for existing lib/framework/package allowing me to do that.

ROS1 package called message-filters is a set of message filters which take in messages and may output those messages at a later time, based on the conditions that filter needs met.

You should check this message filter:

The TimeSynchronizer filter synchronizes incoming channels by the timestamps contained in their headers, and outputs them in the form of a single callback that takes the same number of channels. The C++ implementation can synchronize up to 9 channels.
