Method, apparatus, and system for measuring network performance

A method for measuring network performance, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a receiving end, at least one performance measurement message, where the performance measurement message carries a performance measurement parameter of a transmitting end of the performance measurement message;
• forwarding the performance measurement message to a downstream network node of the receiving end;
• obtaining the performance measurement parameter of the transmitting end, and determining a performance measurement parameter of the receiving end;
• and
• measuring network performance between the transmitting end and the receiving end according to the performance measurement parameter of the transmitting end and the performance measurement parameter of the receiving end.

An apparatus for measuring network performance, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiving module, configured to receive at least one performance measurement message, wherein the performance measurement message carries a performance measurement parameter of a transmitting end, the performance measurement parameter of the transmitting end corresponds to a first data stream, and the performance measurement message is sent by the transmitting end based on the first data stream;
• a managing module, configured to obtain the performance measurement parameter of the transmitting end, and determine a performance measurement parameter of the apparatus, wherein the performance measurement parameter of the device corresponds to the first data stream;
• and
• a measuring module, configured to measure network performance between the transmitting end and the device according to the performance measurement parameter of the transmitting end and the performance measurement parameter of the apparatus, wherein the network performance corresponds to the first data stream.

A system for measuring network performance, the system comprising:

• a first device, configured to send a performance measurement message based on a first data stream, wherein the performance measurement message carries a performance measurement parameter of the first device, and the performance measurement parameter of the first device corresponds to the first data stream;
• and
• a second device, configured to:
• receive the performance measurement message, obtain the performance measurement parameter, which is carried in the performance measurement message, of the first device, and determine a performance measurement parameter of the second device, wherein the performance measurement parameter of the second device corresponds to the first data stream;
• and
• measure network performance between the first device and the second device according to the performance measurement parameter of the first device and the performance measurement parameter of the second device.
