Abstract
In various embodiments, a monitoring application assesses delays associated with a circuit within a network. The monitoring application determines a measured trip time between a first device and a second device that is connected to the first device via the circuit. The measured trip time is associated with a first variance attributable to the first device. The monitoring application performs one or more digital signal processing operations based on the measured trip time to generate a predicted trip time. The predicted trip time is associated with a second variance attributable to the first device that is less than the first variance. Based on the predicted trip time, the monitoring application determines characteristic(s) of the delay associated with the circuit. Advantageously, reducing variations attributable to the first device when generating the first predicted trip time increases the accuracy with which the monitoring application can determine the characteristic(s) of the delay.
