SSL_GET_HANDSHAKE_RTT(3ossl) OpenSSL SSL_GET_HANDSHAKE_RTT(3ossl)
NAME
SSL_get_handshake_rtt - get round trip time for SSL Handshake
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_get_handshake_rtt(const SSL *s, uint64_t *rtt);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_get_handshake_rtt(3) retrieves the round-trip time (RTT) for ssl.
This metric is represented in microseconds (us) as a uint64_t data
type.
NOTES
This metric is created by taking two timestamps during the handshake
and providing the difference between these two times.
When acting as the server, one timestamp is taken when the server is
finished writing to the client. This is during the ServerFinished in
TLS 1.3 and ServerHelloDone in TLS 1.2. The other timestamp is taken
when the server is done reading the client's response. This is after
the client has responded with ClientFinished.
When acting as the client, one timestamp is taken when the client is
finished writing the ClientHello and early data (if any). The other is
taken when client is done reading the server's response. This is after
ServerFinished in TLS 1.3 and after ServerHelloDone in TLS 1.2.
In addition to network propagation delay and network stack overhead,
this metric includes processing time on both endpoints, as this is
based on TLS protocol-level messages and the TLS protocol is not
designed to measure network timings. In some cases the processing time
can be significant, especially when the processing includes asymmetric
cryptographic operations.
RETURN VALUES
Returns 1 if the TLS handshake RTT is successfully retrieved. Returns
0 if the TLS handshake RTT cannot be determined yet. Returns -1 if,
while retrieving the TLS handshake RTT, an error occurs.
