Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a delay time measuring apparatus a sequence number, data length, and receiving time of a data packet transmitted from a source unit to a destination unit are stored in a storage section. In addition, an ACK number and receiving time of an ACK packet returned from the destination unit to the source unit are stored in the storage section. After that, a calculation section obtains an ACK packet an ACK number of which is equal to a value obtained by adding data length of a second data packet of two successive data packets transmitted without waiting for the ACK packet to a sequence number of the second data packet of the two successive data packets from the storage section. Then the calculation section calculates round trip time from receiving time of the second data packet of the two successive data packets and receiving time of the ACK packet obtained.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A delay time measuring apparatus for measuring a delay time from transmission of data to reception of a response to the transmission, the apparatus comprising: a storage control section, coupled to a storage device, which receives a first data packet, as well as a second data packet subsequent to the first data packet, transmitted from a source unit to a destination unit and stores first and second sequence numbers and first and second data lengths of the re…
