Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. 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:
dynamically constructing a digital plane for a plurality of traffic flows from the device to identify hops along communication travel paths of the plurality of traffic flows; and
evaluating the digital plane to identify the segments of the communication travel path for the traffic flow based upon the hops.
