Abstract
A network device adapted for sending a synchronization packet to a slave device. The synchronization packet includes a timestamp field and a correction field. The network device includes a counting circuit, a communication chip, and a processor. The counting circuit is configured to provide a calendar time TOD. The communication chip includes a first port, a second port, and a timestamp circuit which has a bit number N. The processor is coupled to the first port of the communication chip. The processor is configured to: obtain a remainder R according to the calendar time TOD and the bit number N; and write the calendar time TOD and the remainder R into the synchronization packet.
