Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for performing time synchronization at a plurality of computing devices in a network. In one example, a method comprising obtaining timestamp data in accordance with a synchronization operation for a timing protocol; computing a skewness estimate and an offset estimate from the timestamp data by executing a regression analysis, wherein the regression analysis is configured to train a first model to predict the offset estimate and the skewness estimate, the offset estimate comprising a clock time difference between the first clock and the second clock; computing a corrected skewness estimate and a corrected offset estimate based on a second model having parameters based on the offset estimate and the skewness estimate; and modifying a current time value of at least one of the first clock or the second clock based on at least one of the corrected offset estimate or the corrected skewness estimate.
