Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks
German term or phrase: ermitteln/Ermittlung
This is from a patent for a "Verfahren zum Optimieren einer paketorientierten Datenübertragung und Computerprogramm-Produkt": ermitteln and Ermittlung crop up a lot throughout, e.g.:

"Ermitteln einer zugeordneten Antwort auf eine Anfrage des Kommunikationsendpunktes"

"Delegieren des Ermittelns einer zugeordneten Antwort an den Optimierer"

"Übertragen der ermittelten zugeordneten Antwort zwischen Optimierern der Optimiereranordnung" etc. etc.

I can't think of a good, "IT-type" word - "ascertain" etc doesn't sound right...

TIA!
