Abstract
A method for measuring a latency of a connection includes a sender of a distributed application that transmits a plurality of data packets to a receiver of the distributed application via a connection. A measuring application transmits a plurality of packets to an application server, receives a plurality of echo packets from the application server, where each echo packet is caused by a transmitted packet, and calculates time intervals between transmitting a packet and receiving the caused echo packet. The measuring application determines a transmission stop time of a transmitted data packet as a time point when the calculated time intervals rapidly shorten, and/or a transmission start time of a transmitted data packet as a time point when the calculated time intervals rapidly lengthen, and/or a packet rate of the transmitted data packets by counting the transmission start times or the transmission stop times during a second.
