An embodiment includes a method. The method includes determining, by a first node device in a network, a first master clock according to a first clock data set of the first node device and a first clock data set of another node device in the network, and synchronizing to the first master clock, where the first clock data set includes a first clock domain selection parameter of a node device. The method also includes determining, by the first node device, a second master clock according to a second clock data set of the first node device and a second clock data set of another node device that belongs to a same first node clock domain as the first node device does, and synchronizing to the second master clock, where the second clock data set includes a second clock domain selection parameter of a node device.
