ABSTRACT:
In one of many possible embodiments, a system includes a session sender configured to define and transmit a sender test packet, and a session reflector communicatively coupled to the session sender. The session reflector is configured to receive the sender test packet from the session sender, determine whether the sender test packet is received by a predetermined time. Upon a determination that the sender test packet is received by the predetermined time, the session reflector is configured to define a response test packet and transmit the response test packet to the session sender. The response test packet is defined to include data for calculating at least one two-way performance metric. In some embodiments, the session reflector is configured to record information for calculating at least one one-way performance metric. In certain embodiments, a fetch client is configured to remotely retrieve the recorded information from the session reflector.
