Abstract

See full text

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for measuring a client's network latency and the client's connection bandwidth. A network latency is determined by adding a randomly generated variable to a browser query string for a get request for a test file on a remote server, where the test file fits in one response packet. A first amount of time it takes for the test file to be received by the browser from when the get request is sent is determined and used to determine the network latency between the client and remote server. A connection bandwidth is determined by determining a second amount of time it takes for an email response to be received by the browser for an email request from the browser to a remote server. The size of the response is identified and combined with the second time to determine the connection bandwidth.
