Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a clock distribution method and apparatus in a network. A method performed at a clock distribution apparatus comprises: receiving a first clock signal; receiving a second clock signal; calculating an offset difference between the first clock signal and the second clock signal; compensating the second clock signal, based on the offset difference; and outputting a clock signal, based on the compensated second clock signal. The offset difference between the first clock signal and the second clock signal is calculated and used to compensate the second clock signal. The switching of the clock signal will be smoother for the downstream.
