Network experience rating system and method
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for rating computer network connectivity on a computer, the computer executable instructions performing steps comprising:
- analyzing an internet protocol connection at the computer to obtain latency information;
performing a statistical analysis on the latency information to derive a value;
comparing the derived value to reference statistical data; and
determining a performance rating based on the comparison.

Abstract
A network experience rating system and method determines a network connection quality for a computer by monitoring characteristics of data traffic through a connection with another computer on the network. The network experience rating system statistically analyzes the characteristic data and compares the statistically analyzed data to historical data gathered for the computer. The network experience rating system thus provides a rating that is individualized for a particular computer based on the computer'"'"'s network usage.

11. A method for rating computer network connectivity on a computer, the method comprising:
-
retrieving a network performance measurement associated with a packet;
calculating a hop count for the packet;
selecting a set of data based upon the hop count; and
comparing the network performance measurement to the set of data to measure the computer'"'"'s network experience rating. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
