Abstract
A system and method for calculating latency including a latency calculation device configured to: receive an enqueue notification relating to a packet enqueue operation and including a queue identifier, increment an enqueue counter, and determine that a latency calculation flag is not set. Based on the determination that the latency calculation flag is not set, the latency calculation device is configured to: determine a first time corresponding to the enqueue notification, store the first time, store a latency start count, and set the latency calculation flag. The latency calculation device is also configured to: receive a dequeue notification relating to the packet dequeue operation and including the queue identifier, increment a dequeue counter, determine that the latency start count and the dequeue counter values match, determine a second time corresponding to the dequeue notification, and calculate latency as the difference between the first time and the second time.
