Web Portal RTT (latency) Test

We have users connecting to our web site and logging into various secure portals to access the following applications: 1. Citrix Secure Gateway 2. OWA (Outlook Web Access) 3. Extranet mini sites 4. VPN 5. Etc. At times, users report application slow/jittery response. Most often, the issue is at the client side (local ISP). We are looking to create a response time testing micro site for our users to test their connection to the Internet. We are open to ideas and solutions to perform the following tasks: 1. A separate pop up window to show the latency/RTT (Round Trip Time) from client’s PC (Internet Explorer compatible browsers) to: 1. Our IIS (W2K3) web server 2. Additional Internet sites 3. Allow input sites 4. Display the actual RTT in a scrolling window 5. Be able to show/customize a chart or gauge for network latency health (i.e., Green for <100ms, Yellow for <150ms, Red for >150ms, etc.) 2. The RTT most not use ping due to the fact that most firewalls will not allow ping/ICMP traffic 3. The server and client code must be written to provide compatibility with most browsers 4. Must not require client configuration or pose support issues ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
