Abstract

A first device for determining measurement information for a network may include one or more processors. The first device may identify one or more data streams of frames for monitoring. The first device may modify the frames of the one or more identified streams to identify the frames as one or more of count frames to be used to identify a quantity of dropped frames, or to identify the frames as measurement frames to be used to determine latency or jitter. The first device may transmit the one or more data streams toward a second device to permit the second device to collect measurement information based on identifying the count frames or the measurement frames.
