Measuring Jitter, Twitch.tv video stream

0

I want to measure the jitter in the packet stream that I receive from watching a twitch.tv stream since I receive huge performance degredation as the day progresses. Since I can't use any of the telephony tools since it isn't streamed over RTP is there any way to do this with a normal(TCP/UDP) packet stream?

I've done some looking but all the answers seem to be for VoIP services.

Thanks,

Actually, by concept, you cannot calculate (real) jitter values if you look at the traffic at only one point. See my answer to a similar question for an explanation why.

Your analysis makes sense, I'm going to give jperf a try. Thanks for the help.
