    • A method (200) is proposed for determining a round-trip delay time (RTT) between first (PA) and second (PB) points of a communication network (105) based on data units propagating according to a first protocol belonging to a first protocol layer, and to a second protocol belonging to a second protocol layer higher than the first protocol layer, wherein said data units comprise first (DUA) and second (DUB) data units that, during propagation, are at the first and second points, respectively. The method comprises: - associating (205A, 210A) with each first data unit (DUA) a respective first timestamp with respect to a first reference time (RTA); - associating (205B, 210B) with each second data unit (DUB) a respective second timestamp with respect to a second reference time (RTB) different from the first reference time; - recognizing (215), among said first and second data units, first messages (FMj) each one comprising a respective pair of first and second data units that propagate in a first direction (XAB) between the first and second points and that match to each other based on the first protocol, - recognizing (215), among said first and second data units, second messages (RMk) each one comprising a respective pair of first and second data units that propagate in a second direction (XBA) opposite the first direction and that match to each other based on the first protocol, - identifying (220), among said first and second messages, a round-trip message (RTM) comprising a pair of first and second messages wherein the second message has been originated, according to the second protocol, in response to the first message; - determining (225) the round-trip delay time based on the first and second timestamps associated with the first and second data units of the round-trip message.
