Abstract: A server executing an application generates a frame token for a frame that is rendered for the application. One or more first metric messages are provided to the application in response to at least one first operation performed by the server on the frame. The first metric messages include the frame token and information indicating timing of the at least one first operation. The encoded information representing the frame token and the frame is transmitted from the server towards a client. One or more second metric messages are provided to the application in response to one or more second operations performed by the client on the frame. The one or more second metric messages include the frame token and information indicating timing of the second operations. A state of the application is modified based on the first and second metric messages.
