Module Meter Delay Meter

The delay meter module measures the delay of the packets. The delay is measured from the moment the packet enters the emulator until it reaches the delay meter module. The mean, minimum and maximum delay of all packets in a sliding window of a configurable time are computed. Measurements are taken at a configurable interval.

By changing the window size, the degree of filtering of the values can be controlled. Using a small window size results in high frequency variations in the generated statistics, while using a large window size smoothes them out. Changing the interval only influences the sampling frequency of the generated statistics, but does not change the values itself. However, setting the interval too low might have a negative effect on the emulation performance.
