摘要

Methods and apparatus for determining the quality of service of a network are disclosed. A disclosed methodology for determining quality of service f or a network includes determining at least two metrics reflective of network parameters in at least two different protocol layers of the communication n etwork. The metrics are then compared with respective threshold values, and quality of service for the network is determined based on the comparison of the metrics with the respective threshold values.. Corresponding apparatus e xecuting the methodology are also disclosed.
