In order to detect the performance parameters of the network, for example, the network delay or delay jitter, the clock synchronization relations between the two hosts at two ends along the network must be calculated in advance. Then with the correct temporal relations between the two hosts, multimedia transmission along the network and display can occur by the proper order. A refined method based on Paxsons algorithm is proposed and testified. More accurate results can be attained by the method. By the way, the method can be used in a more complicated environment. Furthermore, an end-to-end network performance tester based on the proposed algorithm is designed and implemented.
