ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of measuring a server's network load based on information available in standard IP datagrams transmitted by a server from observations at the client. In the described embodiment, the IPID value in the standard IP datagram is used to calculate the number of IP datagrams transmitted by the server. A calculation may then be carried out to determine the rate of transmission and to provide comparisons with historical transmission rates and transmission rates for other servers.
