Abstract
In order to enable to judge validity of a measurement result of a transmission rate, a speed estimation method transmits a data packet and probe packets before and after the data packet to a measured section which is a target for measurement of a transmission rate, estimates a transmission rate of a measured section based on a first receiving interval which is a receiving interval between the probe packets transmitted through the measured section just before and immediately after the data packet and a data volume of the data packet, and determines validity of a transmission rate by comparing a second receiving interval which is a receiving interval between the probe packets which have passed the measured section continuously in a state that a data packet does not exist in between them in a measured section and a first receiving interval.
