Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, comprising: code that obtains reliability information corresponding to a reliability of a packet processing time as reported by at least a portion of a plurality of packet processing time calculation engines; code that determines, based at least in part on the reliability information, whether any of the portion of the plurality of packet processing time calculation engines are unreliable as compared to other ones of the plurality of packet processing time calculation engines in the portion of the plurality of packet processing time calculation engines; code that causes an unreliable packet processing time calculation engine to cease reporting packet processing times; code that notifies another computing device about the unreliable packet processing time calculation engine, wherein the another computing device replaces the unreliable packet processing time calculation engine with another packet processing time calculation engine; code that causes the unreliable packet processing time calculation engine to stop executing; code that sends, to the portion of the plurality of packet processing time calculation engines, a corresponding plurality of requests for measurement of a packet processing time; and code that receives, from individual ones of the portion of the plurality of packet processing time calculation engines, a reply that includes the packet processing time generated by a respective packet processing time calculation engine.
