Abstract
Methods and devices for evaluating audio quality in a network are described. First and second audio samples are compared. The first audio sample includes a reference signal that is transmitted through a path on the network. The second audio sample includes the reference signal after it has traveled the path and is received. In addition, network performance while the reference signal travels the path is monitored. The results of the comparison are correlated with network performance statistics derived from the monitoring.
