Detecting Clock Dynamics in One-Way Delay Measurement

Abstract: A key issue in one-way delay measurement is the removal of relative clock offset in the situation of without external clock synchronization mechanisms for the end-to-end hosts. Most researches are based on the assumption that the clock skew retains constant and without clock adjustments and drifts during measurement. But in fact, it is found that end system clock might be subject to gradual or instantaneous clock adjustments and frequency adjustments in operation. In this paper, with the time series segmentation technology, we discuss the detection of clock dynamics in one-way delay measurement. Two algorithms are proposed to estimate the relativ
