Method for measuring end-to-end internet application performance

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• analyzing, by the processing device, client requests from a plurality of internet service providers, the client requests comprising requests to access media items and being associated with internet service provider identities, wherein the plurality of internet service providers comprise a first internet service provider and a second internet service provider;
• identifying a first set of the client requests that are associated with the first internet service provider and a second set of the client requests that are associated with the second internet service provider, wherein the identifying is based on the internet service provider identities associated with the client requests;
• determining, for at least one client request of each of the first set and the second set:
• a request time, a payload data quantity, and an elapsed time, wherein the elapsed time is for completion of a data transfer of the payload data quantity;
• calculating a transfer rate for a client request of each of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein the transfer rate comprises an application level throughput for the at least one client request and is based on payload data quantity and elapsed time;
• calculating a performance measurement for each of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein a performance measurement of the first internet service provider is based on a percentage of transfer rates of the first set of client requests that meet a transfer threshold;
• and
• providing performance results of each of the plurality of internet service providers to a user device of one of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein the performance results comprise a performance result based on the performance measurement of the first internet service provider.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is configured to:
• analyze client requests from a plurality of internet service providers, the client requests comprising requests to access media items and being associated with internet service provider identities, wherein the plurality of internet service providers comprise a first internet service provider and a second internet service provider;
• identify a first set of the client requests that are associated with the first internet service provider and a second set of the client requests that are associated with the second internet service provider, wherein the identifying is based on the internet service provider identities associated with the client requests;
• determine, for at least one client request of each of the first set and the second set:
• a request time, a payload data quantity, and an elapsed time, wherein the elapsed time is for completion of a data transfer of the payload data quantity;
• calculate a transfer rate for a client request of each of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein the transfer rate comprises an application level throughput for the at least one client request and is based on payload data quantity and elapsed time;
• calculate a performance measurement for each of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein a performance measurement of the first internet service provider is based on a percentage of transfer rates for the first set of client requests that meet a transfer threshold;
• and
• provide performance results of each of the plurality of internet service providers to a user device of one of the plurality of internet service providers, wherein the performance results comprise a performance result based on the performance measurement of the first internet service provider.
