A measuring apparatus for measuring quality of a network accurately measures a number of times of a data loss even if all the packets to be measured are not obtained or cannot be obtained. Further, a process load applied to the measuring apparatus is decreased by processing a part of the packets to be measured. The measuring apparatus, which measures quality of a network, includes a means for estimating a sampling rate from a number showing sequences stored in packets and a number of received data and a means for estimating a data loss, which would be measured when all the packets were obtained, from a result of sampling measurement by carrying out a differential process and a statistical process using the sequences in the packets, thereby the measuring apparatus measures a number of times of the data loss in the sampling measurement. |
