Abstract
Method and device(s) for supporting estimation of latency over a communication path in a communication network between a data flow shaping node and a probe node. The communication path comprising a data flow target node configured to receive a data flow from a data flow source node via the communication path. The data flow shaping node being configured to provide the data flow in bursts towards the data flow target node. The device(s) initiate to identify a suitable burst interval being a burst interval for which the probe node receives no potential acknowledgement packets during a predefined quiescent period, associated with the suitable burst interval, that covers an end portion of the suitable burst interval and/or a begin portion of a subsequent burst interval.
