    NetworkTransport.GetCurrentRtt
    - returns an average latency measured over several received messages.

    NetworkTransport.GetRemoteDelayTimeMS
    - returns the elapsed time since last received message.

    How do i get the elapsed time between the actual message creation and message process? ( half round trip )

    1. Using GetNetworkTimestamp will return you timestamp value.
    2. Add this timestamp to message as one of the message field
    3. When you will receive message use GetRemoteDelayTimeMS and provide receiving timestamp as parameter.
    The last call will return you delay between GetNetworkTimestamp() call (from 1 step) and moment when you call GetRemoteDelayTimeMS()

    it is exactly what you want (if I understand you correct)
