Abstract
Aspects are described that utilize a distributed network of measurement points to detect sources of lag in a network, but are not so limited. Sources of lag can be detected at particular locations in a network or multiple networks using a plurality of distributed measurement points. Each measurement point can be configured to monitor network conditions at a particular network location using a measurement client to perform a network testing procedure with a measurement stream. Each measurement point can also include a measurement server configured to receive a measurement stream from at least one measurement client. A controller is configured to manage and control one or more of the plurality of measurement clients using a secure connection. Aspects are configured to detect one or more sources of lag of a distributed network of devices and/or cause procedures to be implemented to mitigate identified sources of lag.
