SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A TIMELINESS CONTROL IN A DATA NETWORK

Abstract:

A system for performing a timeliness control is disclosed. The system identifies a dataflow path for performing timeliness control and identifies a first network node and a second network node of the dataflow path for determining a latency between the first and the second network node. The system determines an output lineage corresponding to the dataflow path and identifies, from the output lineage, a first control value associated with the first network node and a second control value associated with the second network node. Then, the system extracts a first timestamp from the first control value and a second timestamp from the second control value and determines the latency based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp. Although the intranode latency is described herein with respect to a first and second nodes, the intra-node latency can be determined for up to n nodes using the techniques described herein.
