Abstract
An apparatus and method that determines the end-to-end transit delay at each node of a path, in accordance with the selected probability value indicative of the probability to experience a delay at each node that is smaller than the computed transit delay. Then the computed transit delays per nodes are combined to obtain the end-to-end delay of the path, the combination being either an arithmetic operation or a convolution operation. A method to approximate the convolution operation is also disclosed.
