PERFORMANCE MEASURING IN A PACKET TRANSMISSION NETWORK

摘要

A stream of data packets transmitted by a terminal (11) passes through network equipment (13) to which a stream-measuring unit is associated. The terminal (11) and the measuring unit are connected to a collection unit (18). Said terminal generates a stream comprising first and second packets to be transmitted to a second terminal. The measuring unit analyses one packet of the stream, the collection unit receives the description of the packet stream containing information specifying the number of the transmitted and received packets from the terminal and the measuring unit receives the description of the stream comprising the analysed packets. The collection unit (18) correlates the received descriptions packet by packet.
