Abstract
A device for measuring network performance in an Internet protocol (IP) network including a counter generating a send sequence number representing a relative send timing indicator for a data packet sent to a respondent network address. The counter generates a receive sequence number representing a relative receive timing indicator for a return data packet received by the device. A comparator compares the send sequence number with the receive sequence number to measure data packet loss.
