Garann, A very simple way to do it is by having a page following this pseudo-code:
1. <script>var start = current time </script> 2. write some HTML (or JavaScript) comment containing n characters 3. <script>var end = current time </script> 4. <script>store 'end-start' in a hidden field of some HTML form and post back the form</script> Because browsers execute JavaScript statement as they are received from the server, if you flush the server output right after steps (1) and (3), you will get in the hidden field the time it takes to send n characters to the browsers (a very good approximation of it, anyway).

I've looked through the Servlets documentation as well as the standard documentation and if the answer is there, I've missed it. But admittedly, I'm no networking expert. A little push in the right direction would be a great help.
