<p>Monitoring network link quality in a telecommunications network which includes a plurality of intermediate network elements connected to network links via which communications sessions are conducted between respective terminating devices. A communications session comprises signaling procedures relating to the control of the session and media transfer procedures for transmitting media content via a media path established using at least part of the procedures. The established media path includes media path legs which are each established between respective media path leg endpoints connected via a network link. One or more endpoints of a media path leg is determined from at least part of the signaling procedures 300. The determined one or more endpoints includes a media path leg endpoint at an intermediate network element. Reporting data is generated 304 that comprises data identifying the determined one or more endpoints. The reporting data is transmitted to an analysis system 306 for network link quality analysis.</p> |
