A network device receives an announce message from a first master clock node and an announce message from a second master clock node; and when an identifier of a first clock source node carried in the announce message of the first master clock node is the same as an identifier of a second clock source node carried in the announce message of the second master clock node, selects a master clock node with a smaller clock deviation from the first master clock node and the second master clock node, and then calibrates a clock of the network device based on time information of the master clock node.

Method for exchanging time synchronization packet and network apparatus

In various embodiments, a method is provided. In this method, a first signal is received from a master node, and is sampled to obtain a first sample. The first sample is then quantized to obtain a quantized form of the first sample. A first synchronization sequence is detected from the quantized form of the first sample at T2. First information is received from the master node and the first information is used to indicate a moment T1 at which the master node sends the first synchronization sequence. A second synchronization sequence is sent to the master node at T3. Second information received from the master node and the second information is used to indicate a moment T4 at which the master node detects a quantized form of the second synchronization sequence. Time synchronization is performed based on T1, T2, T3, and T4.
