  by Philip Tellis

  While working with the Web Performance team at Yahoo!, we developed an opensource JavaScript tool called "boomerang" to measure Network Performance from the Browser.
  The tool utilises several crazy hacks and statistical analysis to figure out how the network performs while running in the background within the browser.
  This talk will go into the details of these techniques.
