MEASUREMENT OF TIME-DELAY, TIME-DELAY-VARIATION, AND CELL TRANSFER RATE IN ATM NETWORKS

摘要

Systems and methods are described for the measurement of time delay, time delay variation and cell transfer rate in asynchronous transfer mode networks. A method includes generating a time-stamp information cell at a first location; transmitting the time-stamp information cell to a second location via a network link; and receiving the time-stamp information cell at the second location. An apparatus includes an asynchronous transfer mode network including a time delay information cell generator.
