Data e.g. cookie packet, exchange quality estimating method for e.g. Internet network, involves storing time for cookie packet transmission, in memory module of client entity after packet is received by client entity

摘要

The method involves transmitting a cookie packet request from a client entity having a memory module (26), via a wide area network (1), to a web service provider entity. The cookie packet is sent to the entity by the service provider entity. The time for packet transmission via the network, related to quality of packet exchange between the entities, is stored in the module after the packet is received by the client entity. An independent claim is also included for a computer program product stored in a memory of computer set having a module communicating via a wide area network, or on a medium intended to cooperate with a reader of the set, or encoded for downloading from a remote server to the computer set via the wide area network including instructions for estimating quality of data exchange in a communication network.
