The invention discloses a system and a method of clock synchronization in a computer network. The system and corresponding method of clock synchronization in a computer network (100) are configured such that a first grandmaster (102) sends a first synchronization information for a first network segment (112) of the computer network (100), a second grandmaster (104) sends a second synchronization information for a second network segment (114) of the computer network, wherein the first grandmaster (102) and the second grandmaster (104) exchange third synchronization information, wherein the grandmasters (102, 104) transmit synchronization information on the physical layer and/or data link layer according to a first protocol, and wherein the first synchronization information and/or the secondsynchronization information is sent on the physical layer and/or data link layer according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol. 计算机网络（100）中的时钟同步的系统和对应方法，其中第最高级主机（102）发送用于计算机网络（100）的第网络段（112）的第同步信息，第二最高级主机
