DETECTING AND ISOLATING DROPPED OR OUT-OF-ORDER PACKETS IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

A processor-implemented method for analyzing dropped or out of order data packets that are sent from an initiating device over a communications network is provided. The processor-implemented method may include receiving, by a processor, a predetermined plurality of test data packets from the initiating device over the communications network. At least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order may be determined by the processor. A header portion corresponding to the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order may then be accessed. The accessed header portion is sent, by the processor, to the initiating device, whereby the accessed header portion may include information associated with a device location at which the one or more of the predetermined plurality of test data packets are dropped or received out of order.

1. A processor-implemented method for analyzing dropped or out of order data packets that are sent from an initiating device over a communications network, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a predetermined plurality of test data packets from the initiating device over the communications network; determining, by the processor, at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order; accessing, by the processor, a header portion corresponding to the at least one of the predetermined plurality of test data packets that are dropped or received out of order; and sending, by the processor, the accessed header portion to the initiating device, wherein the accessed header portion includes information associated with a device location at which the one or more of the predetermined plurality of test data packets are dropped or received out of order.
