Identifying existence and rate of jitter during real-time audio and video streaming

摘要

Various embodiments of a computer-implemented method, system and computer program product identify jitter in a multimedia datastream comprising packets which are sent from a web server in a web server computer to a client computer. An agent in the web server computer computes packet intervals associated with the packets which are sent from the web server. The agent determines whether jitter is occurring at the client computer receiving the packets based on the packet intervals. In some embodiments, a jitter rate is determined based on the packet intervals.
