Abstract
A quality of service monitor adapted to measure a separate value for a quality of service for each of a plurality of monitoring intervals, where each monitoring interval is shorter than the total time duration of a network communications session and longer than the time duration of one data packet in the plurality of packets included in the session. A processor searches for the one monitoring interval with the poorest quality of service value and reports the quality of service for the session as the poorest quality of service for the one monitoring interval.
Claims20
A quality of service monitor, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory connected for data communication with said processor;
- a network interface connected for data communication with said processor;
- a duration of a monitoring interval stored by said processor in said memory, wherein said duration of a monitoring interval is less than a duration of a network communications session;
- a quality of service value for said monitoring interval measured by said processor and stored in said memory;
- a poorest quality of service value stored in said memory by said processor, said poorest quality of service determined by said processor from a plurality of said monitoring interval;
- and
- a quality of service stored for a complete session stored in said memory by said processor, said quality of service for a complete session corresponding to said value for a poorest quality of service measured for one of said monitoring interval.
