  • Publication number: 20170331712
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to monitor performance of a single user session of an application installed in a client device are described. The application may transmit a request for data to a first server, and receive a response from the first server, the response including the requested data. The application may transmit, to a second server, (i) a transmit time at which the request is transmitted, and (ii) a receive time at which the response is received. The second server may facilitate displaying, on a computing device, the transmit time and the receive time. A developer may view such display to analyze the performance of the application during a single user session.

  • Patent number: 7941385
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measurement, analysis, and optimization of content delivery over a communications network is presented. In one embodiment, the apparatus detects data packets en route over a communications network. The detected data packets are read by the apparatus, combined into application messages, and further combined into user centric events. The events are analyzed to identify metrics and statistics relating to the delivery of content over a communications network and the experience of the end user. The metrics and statistics are saved in a data storage area. When the metrics exceed a configurable threshold, the apparatus provides real-time notification of content delivery problems or end user experience problems. Alternatively, the system can take action to proactively prevent anticipated content delivery problems or end user experience problems.
