Abstract
A method for detecting quality of service of a service includes obtaining, by a packet sending device, detection indication information, where the detection indication information is used to instruct the packet sending device to detect quality of service of a service; and sending, by the packet sending device, a detection packet to a packet receiving device based on the detection indication information, where the detection packet is used to detect the quality of service of the service.
Claims20
A method for detecting service quality, wherein the method comprise
- obtaining, by a user plane function entity configured to send packets, detection indication information from a session management network entity, wherein the detection indication information instructs the user plane function entity to detect a quality of service of a service, wherein the detection indication information is based on at least one of a quality of service requirement, a local policy, or a local context of the service, wherein the detection indication information comprises a detection type which indicates a type of the quality of service detection to be performed on detection packets, wherein the detection type is loopback detection to measure at least a loopback delay in transmission of a detection packet between the user plane function entity and a packet receiving device, wherein the detection indication information further comprises a service flow identifier of the service, and wherein the service flow identifier indicates a service flow of the service;
- sending, by the user plane function entity, the detection packet to the packet receiving device based on the detection indication information;
- receiving, by the packet receiving device, the detection packet from the user plane function entity;
- and
- detecting, by the packet receiving device, the quality of service of the service based on the detection packet, wherein the detection packet and a service packet of the service use a same 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network protocol header.
