Abstract: Recently, the same authors provided a switching algorithm for the preferred clock skew estimator appropriate for the precision time protocol (PTP) scenario. The algorithm chooses the one-way delay (OWD) clock skew estimator for the Forward path or the Reverse path or the two-way delay (TWD) clock skew estimator that has the best performance in the mean square error (MSE) perspective. However, the switching algorithm applies only to the Gaussian scenario. In a real system, the packet delay variation (PDV) can be characterized as an fractional Gaussian noise (fGn) process where the Hurst exponent parameter can also have values higher than 0.5. Thus, the Gaussian case-switching algorithm may not apply in a real system where after a small set of PTP measurements, the switching algorithm should be able to switch effectively to the preferred clock skew estimator with the best performance in the MSE perspective. In this paper, the PDV is characterized as an fGn process where the Hurst exponent (H) is in the range of 0.5≤H
