Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring network performance in near real-time by making measurements on packets received at an intermediate node in wireless communication network. The solution is useful for monitoring wireless network performance of any packetized wireless communication network that connects a client and application server, and particularly for any application running over TCP/IP protocol. A method is disclosed for measuring packet loss rate of a packet-based communication session between a Network Source (NS) and a User Equipment (UE) device at an intermediate node, in the downlink direction and the uplink direction. The measured loss is indicative of the loss in the portion of wireless network between the intermediate node and the UE. The measured packet loss rate is compared with service guarantees for the wireless network, and if the service guarantees are not being met, then resolution mechanisms can be implemented.
