1. A method for assessing delivery performance of a network server over a communication network, comprising:

  • making a request for a service to be performed by the network server;

    measuring a delivery rate at which the service is performed by the network server;

    comparing a measurement of the delivery rate with the nominal standard for performing the service successfully;

    checking operability of the communication network to determine feasibility in making an independent assessment of a performance of the network server with regard to the communication network, wherein a determination is made as to whether the communication network is currently supporting a delivery rate for the network server above a nominal standard;

    saving results of the comparison if the independent assessment is determined to be possible; and

    disregarding the results of the comparison if the independent assessment is determined to not be possible.
