Information processing apparatus and method, program, and recording medium

摘要

An information processing apparatus for performing communication with another information processing apparatus via a network includes an instruction section instructing a transmission of a first packet in order to obtain a response from the other information processing apparatus; a first generation section generating a first time stamp containing a time when the first packet generated on the basis of instructions by the instruction section is sent out to the network; a second generation section generating a second time stamp containing a time when a second packet that is transmitted as a response for the first packet from the other information processing apparatus is obtained from the network; and a computation section computing a round trip delay between the information processing apparatus and the other information-processing apparatus on the basis of the first and second generated time stamps.
