发明名称 Determining network latency with limited computing resources
摘要 Disclosed are techniques for accurately determining network latency. The techniques include steps for transmitting a latency packet between a network test device and a remote network node. The techniques particularly include steps for recording timestamps upon transmission and receipt of the latency packet by the respective network device and the remote network node. Network latency is determined based on a difference between timestamps of the network device (transmitting and receiving the latency packet) and a difference between the timestamps of the remote network node (transmitting and receiving the latency packet).

主权项 1. A method, comprising: transmitting a latency packet via a network test device to at least one remote node in a communication network; generating, via tile network test device a first timestamp associated with transmission of the latency packet; receiving the latency packet at the network test device, the latency packet being reflected from the at least one remote node; generating a second timestamp associated with receiving the latency packet at the network test device; receiving a third timestamp and a fourth time stamp at the network test device, the third timestamp being associated with receipt of the latency packet by the at least one remote node and the fourth time stamp being associated with transmission of the latency packet to the network test device by the at least remote one node, wherein the third and fourth timestamps are transmitted by the at least one remote node in one or more packets different from the latency packet, wherein the third and fourth timestamps are recorded and then transmitted by the at least one remote node in one or more data packets different from the latency packet; and determining a network latency of the communication network via the network test device based on a difference between the second timestamp and the first timestamp and a difference between tile fourth timestamp and the third timestamp.
