METHOD OF MEASURING NETWORK TRAVERSAL TIME WHEN SETTING UP TCP CONNECTIONS

摘要

Method of measuring traversal time at a point of a network when setting up TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections, using recordings carried out according to a network protocol used to collect information on IP traffic, such as Netflow, said recordings comprising (i) a first recording generated by the synchronization request/response at this point of the network and (ii) the use of a field relating to a start instant ("StartTime") of the first recording so as to date-stamp the synchronization request/response at this point of the network.
