Abstract
In a quality degradation (QD) portion estimating method on a network, a passive measuring unit connected with a management target network measures E2E flow quality (FQ) data on a route from a transmitting terminal connected with a different network to a receiving terminal connected with the management target network and upstream FQ data on the route from the transmitting terminal to the passive measuring unit in the management target network. A QD portion estimating section connected with the management target network collects E2E FQ data and upper stream FQ data measured by said passive measuring unit. A detecting section detects as a QD flow in the management target network, a flow related to the E2E FQ data that does not show degradation of FQ, for the upstream FQ data related to the same transmitting and receiving terminals, from among the E2E FQ data which show the degradation of FQ.
