Traffic load density measuring method, using a transmitter connected to a communication network for transmitting a packet, and a receiver for receiving the packet via the communication network, in which
- a packet for load density detection is transmitted and received to measure a traffic load density within a predetermined transmission interval, wherein
- the method comprises the steps of:
- changing a transmission interval of said packet for load density detection;
- adding transmission information capable of specifying a transmission time, a transmission interval, and a transmission number of said packet for load density detection to said packet for load density detection to transmit said packet;
- receiving said packet for load density detection;
- extracting said transmission information from said packet for load density detection being received;
- and
- measuring the traffic load density within the predetermined transmission interval based on the extracted transmission information, and a delay or a lost status of said packet for load density detection.
