A system and method for measuring the performance of a network, such as the Internet, uses a server on the network to collect network performance data in the process of servicing clients on the network. When the server receives a data transfer request from a client, it records operation information such as the time it takes to transfer the requested data, the size of the data, etc. and derives performance evaluation data such as round-trip time, bandwidth, packet loss, etc. that indicate network performance between the client and the server. The recorded performance data for the multiple clients are aggregated and analyzed together with client information to determine the network performance experienced by the clients.
