Latency measurement in resource requests
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing, by a service provider, executable code for generating a set of requests to the service provider, wherein the executable code includes instructions for configuring at least two requests for content from the set of requests to be directed to separately identified components of the service provider;
obtaining, by the service provider, the at least two requests from a client computing device, wherein each of the at least two requests is generated by the client computing device as a function of having executed the provided executable code;
processing, by the service provider, the at least two requests; and
determining, by the service provider, latency information associated with the at least two requests from the client computing device, the latency information corresponding to a communication latency between the client computing device and the separately identified components of the service provider.

Abstract
Systems and method for the management and processing of resource requests by a service provider, such as a content delivery network (“CDN”) service provider, on behalf of a content provider are provided. The CDN service provider can measure the performance associated with the delivery of resources to a requesting client computing devices from various computing devices associated with the CDN service provider. In one embodiment, a client computing device can execute code, such as scripts, that cause the client computing device to transmit requests to different computing devices associated with the CDN service provider'"'"'s domain. Information associated with the processing of the responses can be used to measure CDN service provider latencies.

7. A system comprising:
-
a data store for storing performance metric information associated with processing resource requests; and a computing system in communication with said data store that is operative to; provide information for generating a series of requests to a service provider, wherein the information includes instructions for configuring at least two requests for content from the series of requests to be directed to separately identified components of the service provider; obtain the at least two requests from a client computing device, wherein each of the at least two requests is generated by the client computing device having executed the provided executable code; process the at least two requests; determine latency information associated with each of the at least two requests, wherein the latency information corresponds to a communication latency between the client computing device and the separately identified components of the service provider; and update performance metric information according to the latency information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions for processing content, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:
-
provide, by a service provider, executable code for generating a set of requests to the service provider, wherein the executable code includes instructions for configuring at least two requests for content from the set of requests to be directed to separately identified components of the service provider; obtain, by the service provider, the at least two requests from a client computing device, wherein each of the at least two requests is generated by the client computing device as a function of having executed the provided executable code; process, by the service provider, the at least two requests; and determine, by the service provider, latency information associated with the at least two requests from the client computing device, the latency information corresponding to a communication latency between the client computing device and the separately identified components of the service provider. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
