Digital communications network non intrusive loss factor/transfer rate measurement having information collected/stored analysed classifying digital packet flow and calculating identification signature then counting packet data.

摘要

The loss index and digital duration measurement technique has probes (1) measuring packet information at points in a communications network, measuring information flow. The measurements are collected (4), stored (5) and analysed (6) to classify the digital packet flow, calculate the identification signature and count the packet data. One way transfers and hence packet losses and digital transfer rates can then be found.
