Abstract
A protocol delay measuring device prevents an increase of the processing overhead of a communication terminal attributed to a protocol delay measurement. The measuring device determines the protocol delay by using first and second timestamps created respectively before and after a processed packet is obtained from an unprocessed packet by IPsec processing by the communication terminal. An acknowledges creates an identifier of the unprocessed packet. A timestamp database stores the created identifier along with the first timestamp and writes the identifier in a storage where the identifier is kept the same before and after the IPsec processing by the communication terminal. A correlator reads the identifier from the storage and extracts the first timestamp stored along with the same identifier as the read identifier in the timestamp database. A calculator calculates the difference between the extracted first timestamp and the second timestamp as the protocol delay.
