Abstract
The present invention relates to handling of performance problems arising in computer networks and in particular, to precise definition of packet traversal time. The basic idea of the present invention comprises the principle to perform a calibration phase, in which the difference between the computer clocks on the client and the server computer is calculated, using a statistical method. This allows to calculate request and response time separately.
