Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
tracking traffic flow, over a communication network from an application executing on a device to a multi-access edge (MEC) server instance hosted by a MEC platform, during runtime of the application for measuring round trip time latencies of the traffic flow; and
in response to a round trip time latency violating a latency management policy during a timespan, measuring segment latencies along segments of a communication travel path of the traffic flow from the device to the MEC platform during the timespan,
where the measuring segment latencies comprises:
evaluating a topology data store using a location of the device to identify a network communication component as a first hop along the communication travel path of the traffic flow;
querying the network communication component to identify a second hop along the communication travel path;
constructing the communication travel path based upon the first hop and the second hop; and
identifying the segments based upon hops along the communication travel path.
