ABSTRACT:
A network latency estimation apparatus for estimating latency in a network communication between a server and a client. The apparatus includes an event observer to observe occurrences of pre-selected events occurring at the server. A logging device associated with the event observer logs into a data store the occurrence of the events together with corresponding time information. A latency estimator associated with the logging device uses the logged occurrences with the corresponding time information to arrive at an estimation of the latency for the communication.
