Abstract: In this paper, we deal with the problem of monitoring network latency. Indeed, latency is a key network metric related to both network performance and quality of service, since it directly impacts on the overall user’s experience. High latency leads to unacceptably slow response times of network services, and may increase network congestion and reduce the throughput, in turn disrupting communications and the user’s experience. A common approach to monitoring network latency takes into account the frequently skewed distribution of latency values, and therefore specific quantiles are monitored, such as the 95th, 98th, and 99th percentiles. We present a comparative analysis of the speed of convergence of the sequential FRUGAL-1U, FRUGAL-2U, and EASYQUANTILE algorithms and the design and analysis of parallel, message-passing-based versions of these algorithms that can be used for monitoring network latency quickly and accurately. Distributed versions are also discussed. Extensive experimental results are provided and discussed as well.
