Claim Text:
1. A method of calculating a transmission delay value for data transmitted from a first device to a second device across a communications link, the method comprising: calculating, by a processor, a plurality of measured values representing the transmission delay value measured by the second device over time; detecting, by the processor, a boundary of the plurality of measured values by determining a plurality of boundary values including a sub-set of the plurality of measured values by: deriving, by the processor, the transmission delay value from the at least one of the plurality of boundary values, wherein detecting the boundary involves updating a parameter value in respect of each of the plurality of measured values, wherein updating the parameter value involves setting the parameter value to the lower one of: a current measurement time; and the parameter value modified by application of a mathematical function.
