1. A method comprising:
- capturing a packet transmitted over a network;
determining, using a processor, a minimum delay of a plurality of previously captured packets, each previously captured packet of the plurality of previously captured packets associated with a delay;
determining a current overall delay of the packet based on features of the packet; and
calculating a congestion indicator based on the current overall delay and the minimum delay.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for measuring metrics associated with a wireless network is described. One embodiment includes capturing a packet transmitted over a network and determining a minimum delay of a plurality of previously captured packets, where each previously captured packet of the plurality of previously captured packets is associated with a delay. The embodiment further includes determining a current overall delay of the packet based on features of the packet and calculating a congestion indicator based on the current overall delay and the minimum delay.
