PACKET LOSS COUNTER

摘要

A method for communication includes generating in a transmitter a sequence of data packets for transmission to a receiver. Control packets are inserted into the sequence in the transmitter, such that a given control packet is indicative of a count of the data packets that are transmitted in a time interval that ends with a previous control packet that precedes the given control packet. The sequence, including the data packets and the inserted control packets, is transmitted to the receiver.
