Patent ID: 8917739

Claim:
A method for measuring network round trip transmission time comprising: while maximum storage allocation size for received data has not been reached, storing received data of a first group of traffic for processing; determining receipt of a first acknowledgement (ACK) signal from the first group of traffic indicating transmission of the first group of traffic has terminated; determining network round trip time for the first group of traffic upon receipt of the first ACK signal indicating the transmission of the first group of traffic has terminated; stopping storing of received data upon receipt of the first ACK signal indicating the transmission of the first group of traffic has terminated; determining receipt of a second ACK signal from a second group of traffic subsequent from the first group of traffic indicating transmission of the second group of traffic; while maximum storage allocation size for received data has not been reached, storing received data of the second group of traffic for processing upon receipt of the second ACK signal indicating initiation of transmission of the second group of traffic; determining receipt of a third ACK signal from the second group of traffic indicating transmission of the second group of traffic has terminated; determining network round trip time for the second group of traffic upon receipt of the third ACK signal indicating the transmission of the second group of traffic has terminated; and stopping storing of received data upon receipt of the second ACK signal indicating the transmission of the second group of traffic has terminated.
