Abstract
A method of determining packet loss ratio between two communications nodes, the method comprising: transmitting at least one loopback packet configured to be propagated from a first node through a second and third nodes back to the first node; upon traversal of the second node inserting into the loopback packet a first counter for a number of packets sent from the second node to the third node prior to receiving the loopback packet; upon traversal of the third node inserting into the loopback packet a second counter for a number of packets received by the third node from the second node prior to receiving the loopback packet; upon return of the loopback packet to the first node, determining a packet loss ratio between the second and third nodes responsive to the first counter number and the second counter number inserted into the loopback packet.
