Managing Delay in a modern Internet network generally involves managing the physical and logical infrastructure. Physical link hop count has the greatest affect on one-way delay, and physically architecting a network to have minimal hops can be an interesting task, but the logical network is also involved. Is routing choosing the best route to minimize delay? Is the return path as carefully chosen as the client->server path?

With so many things that can affect a given applications one-way and round trip delay that a user or application may experience, having the ability to determine what component needs attention can be a solution in and of itself.
