Patent ID: 8135829

Claim:
A system for measuring a total roundtrip response time of a set of requests resulting from an original request having embedded HTML frames, the system comprising: a processor; and a response time monitor, located on a non-origin node of a public or private network which when executed by the processor is configured to: (a) build a relationship tree for the original request and its embedded HTML frames; (b) for the original request and each additional request from the set of requests resulting from the original request, include requests for the embedded HTML frames, detecting a start time and end time of each component of a roundtrip response time of the respective request in order to calculate a respective duration for each component; (c) detect that the original request and the set of requests resulting from the original request have been completed upon the occurrence of a termination condition; and (d) calculate the total roundtrip response time, including time needed for obtaining the embedded HTML frames, by using the relationship tree to aggregate respective round trip times of the original request and all the additional requests by adding together the duration of all their respective components.
