METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DYNAMICALLY SAMPLE NRT USING A DOUBLE-ENDED QUEUE THAT ALLOWS FOR SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM FULL NRT ANALYSIS TO SAMPLED NRT ANALYSIS

摘要

A network round trip time measurement apparatus and method employ an allocated storage in the form of a double ended queue, to store data received while awaiting a corresponding receipt of data to allow the network round trip time to be determined. When the allocated size of the storage is exceeded, storage stops until such time as data is received to allow network round trip time to be determined on at least some of the already stored data, whereupon storage can resume. This allows use in high and low volume traffic situations to automatically scale back the amount of data processed, so as to not overtax available resources.

主权项

1. A method for measuring network round trip transmission time comprising:
while maximum storage allocation size for received data has not been reached, storing received data for processing; determining network round trip time for at least part of the stored data when possible; stopping storing of received data until such time as determining network round trip time for at least part of the stored data is possible.
