Abstract
Embodiments relate to a system, computer program product, and method for evaluating one or more network characteristics commensurate with establishing a connection between a computing device and a network. A computing device configured as a network accessible device selectively detects one or more available network connections, followed by initiating establishment of the connection, which includes an automatic analysis of the device connection to the network. This analysis employs a measurement of latency commensurate with the selected network connection. The functionality of the computing device is dynamically adjusted responsive to the latency measurement. More specifically, the functionality adjustment is selective and based on a categorization of the latency measurement.
Claims15
A computer system comprising:
- a processing unit operatively coupled to memory;
- a network detector in communication with the processing unit, the network detector to detect availability of a network connection to a network accessible device;
- the detector to establish a connection of the device to the network;
- an analyzer in communication with the detector, the analyzer to automatically analyze the device connection to the network, including the analyzer to execute a latency measurement of the connection;
- and
- an adjuster in communication with the analyzer, the adjuster to dynamically adjust functionality of the device responsive to the latency measurement, wherein the functionality adjustment is selective based on a categorization of the latency measurement.
A computer program product for measuring latency of a network connection, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processing unit to:
- detect availability of the network connection to a network accessible device;
- establish a connection of the device to the network;
- automatically analyze the device connection to the network, including execute a latency measurement of the connection;
- and
- dynamically adjust functionality of the device responsive to the latency measurement, wherein the functionality adjustment is selective based on a categorization of the latency measurement.
