Claim:
A data processing system, comprising: a packet data switching system, comprising a content-addressable memory configured to redirect, via a first redirection, to a measurement computer, a request to access a server application program hosted at a server computer in response to receiving the request from a client computer, and to redirect a response to the request to the measurement computer via a second redirection; the measurement computer, comprising: request rewriting logic configured: to receive the request of the client computer via the first redirection based on the content-addressable memory of the switching system, to record a first time value representing a time of receiving the request, to forward the request to the server application program, to receive, via the second redirection, the response from the content-addressable memory to the request, to rewrite a payload of the response by embedding a browser-executable measurement reporting script into the payload, and to forward the rewritten response to the client computer.
