Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and program for generating network performance data. Performance information including a performance time to download a page and execute the page within an application program is received. The received performance information is processed and then performance information output indicating network performance is generated in response to processing the performance information.
Claims5
A method for generating network performance data, comprising:
- receiving performance information including a performance time to download a page and execute the page within an application program;
- processing the received performance information;
- generating performance information output indicating network performance in response to processing the performance information;
- determining a network address at a location;
- and
- utilizing the performance information output to estimate a performance time for a hypothetical device at the network address to download and execute the page, wherein the performance information further includes a response time, and wherein utilizing the performance information to estimate the performance time for the hypothetical device at the network address comprises:
- calculating a ratio of the performance time to the response time;
- determining a response time for the hypothetical device at the network address;
- and
- applying the ratio to the hypothetical device response time to estimate the performance time for the hypothetical device at the network address.
