Systems and methods for periodic monitoring of network latency

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of nodes between a client device and a device providing access to an internet service provider (ISP), each node of the plurality of nodes comprising one or more processors, coupled with memory, to:
• select a data packet of a plurality of data packets;
• for the selected data packet:
• generate a packet identifier, and
• record a timestamp;
• and
• transmit, to at least one of the client device or a second node of the plurality of nodes, for the selected data packet, the packet identifier and the timestamp to cause the at least one of the client device or the second node to determine, for a corresponding node, based at least on one or more timestamps associated with each of one or more packet identifiers received from the corresponding node and one or more second timestamps identified by the at least one of the client device or the second node for the one or more packet identifiers, a respective latency between the at least one of the client device or the second and the corresponding node.

A method for monitoring network latency, comprising:

• receiving, by a client device, from each node of a plurality of nodes between the client device and a device providing access to an internet service provider (ISP), a packet identifier and a timestamp for each data packet of a plurality of data packets selected by each node;
• identifying, by the client device, for each packet identifier received from a corresponding node, a second timestamp of receipt by the client device of each data packet corresponding to each packet identifier;
• and
• determining, by the client device, based at least on one or more timestamps associated with each of one or more packet identifiers received from the corresponding node and one or more second timestamps for the one or more packet identifiers, a respective latency between the client device and the corresponding node.
