The Message Delivered Report presents statistics for session sources on the message delay
before the message is reassembled by the destination. Thus, message delay is the time
between creating the first packet of the message on the originating node and the time of
receiving the last packet of the message on the destination node. The message may still be
worked on by the source after the message is delivered because of retransmissions, waiting
for acks, or for modeling the close-sequence of the connection, but these values are not
factored into the message delivered delay.
Messages Assembled
The number of messages that have been completely assembled at the
destination. Messages are broken into packets at the source node
according to the transport protocol characteristics and then each packet
is sent to the destination. Only messages where all packets have been
received are reported.
Message Delay—Average, Standard Deviation, Maximum
The average, maximum and standard deviation of the observed message
delay.
