Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and arrangements to measure network performance. The method comprises the following steps: —Transmitting via a communication network (IP) payload packets (-) from a sending node (GGSN/A) to a receiving node (GGSN/B). —Generating at the sending node (GGSN/A) a send specification (s-s, sid-sid) for each of at least one selected packet (-) of the transmitted payload packets (-). —Generating at the receiving node (GGSN/B), a receive specification (r-r, rid-rid, siz-siz) for each of at least one selected packet (-) of the transmitted payload packets (-). —Bringing together generated send specifications (s-s, sid-sid) and generated receive specifications (r-r, rid-rid, siz-siz). —Estimating network performance by utilizing corresponding specifications (s-s, r-r, siz-siz) of the brought together specifications.
